William- Well at least I cannot call you one of those hyterical, hyping bears! In any case, WSJ reports the past four quarters for BA as follows: +38, +55, +48, -72, for a total over the last four quarters of $0.69. The closing price yesterday was $53 and some small increment, so 53/0.69 = 76.8. I think your source is wrong, but I appreciate that you posted in good faith. Interestingly, Smart Money gives a forward P/E of 29 for BA, as opposed to the 21 I cited earlier. Regards, Larry P.S. I'm not really as bullish as I may sound or even as my investments may suggest (essentially all my assets are in stocks). I'm sure there is a profound lesson to be learned in that!

Unrelated - Swiss siphoned off cash sent to starving PoWs By Ivo Dawnay in Washington Search for Nazi plunder sends shudder through art world THE wartime Swiss government used funds sent by the Allies, intended to relieve the plight of British and American prisoners in Japanese camps, to repatriate Swiss money from Tokyo, a document found in the US has revealed. The transactions involved 4.5 million Swiss francs - about œ600,000 at 1944 prices - and could have run into millions more had a later dispute not intervened. The document suggests a massive misappropriation of funds that could have had fatal consequences for the 300,000 PoWs in Japanese camps, many under the protective care of the neutral Swiss. The hitherto unpublished document, obtained by The Telegraph, is a translation of an intercepted message from the Berne foreign ministry to the Swiss embassy in Washington in November 1945. Unknown to the Swiss, it was decoded by an American intelligence agency using the Ultra technology developed by the British during the war. Its opening paragraph tells the Swiss legation of "an absolutely confidential" clearing agreement reached with the Japanese on August 17, 1944 - a full year before the end of the Pacific war. this article is from The Telegrah - UK Haim
