The low p/e "feature" often is present for a reason. Although you don't always "get what you pay for," there's sometimes a correlation between price and value.

Oh. Perfect timing. --- Okay now, twister I would genuinely appreciate you explaining this p/e thing to me as we go into next week. As a T shareholder, it would be reassuring I guess to understand the p/e thing better. --- As a SUNW shareholder, in reading your p/e posts I'll have the added benefit of seeing the SUNW share price rise every time you type "p/e" on a market day, but let's just focus on T. --- The p/e for T is under 20. By the same measure, the p/e thing for sun.com is quadruple (four times) that. --- If I were to have a yard sale or take all the bottles in to the recyclers or otherwise experience a windfall like that and wanted to invest the procedes (long term), I would find T to be the better value between it and sun.com? --- BTW, do you feel that sun.com has established a new historical p/e thing level? --- twister, bottom line, if you can get SUNW to close up over $88 this week using "p/e" posts, I'll send you enough Dairy Queen scrip for 3 (three) Dilly Bars. -JCJ
