kvkkc1; I will detail for you. You know the facts, you may not recognize them.

You know price.

You know earnings - Gaap or pro-forma. Take your pick

You can construct cash flow, or wait not much longer for the 10Q

So your current Price to earnings or cost to economic benefit are dead trivial. Risk to reward ratio is a fact based on two fictions... so I will give it to you that you this could be construed as a fiction.

Finally you say that past data is not indicative of future performance. I would say that is true. I would further add that future data is even less indicative of future performance (until such time as it becomes present data).

All ratios are worthless, it appears - particularly when they are inconvenient.

John.
