<<Do investors out there even look at stuff like PE anymore?>> No! They haven't for a couple of years. All that may change now though. That is if the "wild wild west" days are over.

Do investors out there even look at stuff like PE anymore? Many do not I'm afraid. Far too many in fact. And while it is often said that a stock's PE ratio is no longer a very useful tool or reliable indicator these days, I still say that in many cases it can certainly give us at least a wee bit of a slight hint as to which shares may be over or undervalued..... Some stocks are what I call "cult stocks" though, where higher PE's are allowed for them just because, because "they" said so! Such is life, where unfair discrimination will never be completely eliminated. Yogi
