Look at EIDSY's trailing P/E at www.pcquote: 11 or half the industry average and less than 1/3 ERTS's. 'Till Yesterday www.pcquote.com was understating EIDSY's earnings because they forgot about the currency conversion. Skewed analytics in the public domain & on data provider sites is an area that Brainerd Communicators could be more vigilant about. The trailing earnings is now more or less correct at $1.09 as opposed to the 75 pence which was being posted until today. So the P/E is 11 and not 17 as was erroneously being reported. Scroll down for historical analytics on EIDSY: pcquote.com Yahoo has a trailing 12-month earnings of $1.02. The difference is probably connected to what currency rate they were using. But the two P/Es are now pretty much in line: quote.yahoo.com The current trailing P/E that EIDOS commands is the lowest since it started trading in the secondary market (see p.37 under historical information in the 1998 annual report & accounts. Lara on the cover.) Jeff, if you think this was the only acquisition that ERTS botched, look at their shoddy historical record according to one SI poster: www3.techstocks.com Can Joe quantify how much bigger the market for TR3 could be without a 3-D accelerator? That could be a useful comparison if we can find out the installed base of potential TRII junkies who were left out because they lacked a 3-D card last Fall. By the way Joe, you should have received a detachable ballot card for the resolutions. I'm waiting for Sept. 3 before I decide what position to take on res. 7. Hitting the First Call estimate, would give us a trailing P/E of 9 and anything better, would be icing on the cake. Anyway, I can live with a P/E of 9-10 a week after Commandos has been released in the U.S. We'll see. Bleeker
