James, don't know about industry average PE's but $.11 is last years #'s. How about making the calculation on 1998 estimates?

James I think a PE of 59 for the staffing industry is way overboard?? Also, I would think (I could be wrong) that a PE on a BB stock would be discounted vs the same company on a listed exchange.. due to risk factors and uncertaintity of holding a BB stock vs a NASDAQ or AMEX stock. Theoretically, PE should equal 3-5 yr growth rates, and I dont see Manpower or Robert Half or SOS growing 59% a year.. if so they would be beating the growth rates of Cisco, Oracle, Microsoft, et al. And yes FAMH could grow 59% for a shorter period of time due to economies of scale.. its a small co. and small companies are easier to grow at a rapid pace.. but your argument is of "tagging" an industry PE to FAMH so therefore I think 59 is a "bit" optimistic. Off to get my hair brushed by Ken... Love, Barbie
