J, >>>Was the PE of 18.4 based on trailing earnings? <<<

According to Barron's Andrew Bary the P/E was determined by dividing the market value by the trailing 12 month profits according to data compiled by ISI Group in New York. But in Alan Abelson's column - referring to the same chart - Abelson wrote that the table is the handiwork of George Gillman, "who puts out an excellent quarterly, The Business Picture". So I would not be surprised if they made a mistake.

Leave it up to Barron's to confuse the issue. They have all week to put out their rag and they can't seem to get their numbers straight.
