Saw this line last night in Graham and Dodd: "While we were writing, we had to combat a widespread conviction that financial debacle was to be the permanent order." Man, we are a long way from that level of sentiment.

Yeah, that Bear Stearns thing is pretty funny. We couldn't use a reasonable metric before, because it didn't justify you buying stock. Now we can use this one since it justifies buying more stock. Why the hell are they adding dividend yield to earnings yield? Last time I checked, the divvies had to be paid out of earnings. Dumbf*cks... Of course, revenue models make sense, as long as you're not in a deflationary environment where the revenue stream might not be profitable. Whoops, guess they blew that, too. Ah, nevermind, just buy calls. <s> (Unless you're buying gold calls of course) BC
