Kat... Wait a minute here. Tell me how to calculate a P/S ratio! I thought it was Total Sales divided by Total Shares divided into Share Price. If that's correct, For GE the figures are $125.7 Bil (TTM) 9.938 bil (Shares) $28.00 (recent Price/Share) That works out to a P/S ratio of 2.21....yet Jubak put the company on his "high" list....up there with 6,7, and 8! If I'm correct, GE needs to lose another $15 to get to a P/S of 1.0, where he might think it's "bottomed". I don't want to say we'll never see it, but I suspect he's not checking the work before he publishes it. Not fraud, just an accidental oversight like happens in some financial reports. Chaz
