<some clown was on NBR tonite from E. Jones & co... trying to argue the naz was now valued at a 33 p/e....> What 33 PE {Pages Eyed on the net}??? What a laugh... the next trick is going to be using 'trailing' PE's because current and future look so horrific, I swear they're doing this already. DAK

that's BS...even if we use the dubious p/e evaluation methods used by the exchange itself, the p/e must still be well over 100. it was 257 at the peak according to them. cut that in half...and then consider that earnings are in retreat... using GAAP, the p/e is in the stratosphere somewhere...i.e.if you use REAL earnings, including the non-recurring write-downs that recur every quarter, and count the loss makers too. a bear valuation undershoot would bring it to a p/e between 10 and 15....
