Sergio You are right I did jump too fast. Mr. Vincent Smith, the CEO, has been a continuous seller of shares of stock since Sept. of last year..He sells anywhere from 13 to 16 bucks per share. Oh, yeah, he also controls stock in his kids trust fund and several different limit liability companies. Look at the form 4's, all of the insiders are constant sellers of the stock. Interesting that the biggest fall in the stock price coincides with his sales. Maybe he don't know what the ratios mean either, LOL or maybe he does, and realizes that the stock is fully valued at 13ish and overvalued at 16ish. Ken

This is what I think I know and everything I don’t. lol PE divide price by earnings per share. The higher the PE the more you pay for earnings growth and the larger implied expectations are for future growth. Trailing and Forward and of course PEG (PE relation to growth rate). Price to Book divide price by book value. Low price to book brings you closer to liquidating value. Price to Sales measures price against annual sales. Low price to sales is consider a bargain. Enterprise value? Then you got profit margin, return on assets/equity, EBITDA, diluted EPS all that income statement stuff. How I see the balance sheet, cash is good debt is bad. Total Debt/Equity? Lets not forget our insiders and institutions as well as our short ratio. I have a terrible time looking at the fundies big picture and drawing sound conclusions. As a footnote at the present I am a short-term investor and rarely hold anything longer then 2-3 months.
