whip, another consideration related to valuations is the reality of reported eps. two issues impact them a lot. the options technique of transferring payroll costs directly to shareholders w/o passing the income statement is one issue. this "game" works as long as we are in a bull market and employees accept options in lieu of salary. bear market = "game over" and salaries will sky rocket or key personnel walk, imho. the fact that everyone seems to have recurring non-recurring charges is a second issue. some have postulated that a few companies are writing down old inventory to $0 and then selling it and counting the whole price as "earnings." dimd is one supposed perp of this "game." eps may be over stated by 20-30%. that 28 pe looks a little low to me. food for thought. skeets out...
