TraderGreg- No Confusion, I like this thread! Everyone wants to help out. This is perfect. I print all 3 responses out. Now just wish I could help out with the DD. Unfortunately, I work fulltime and go to college. I do have a connection to the net no matter which place I'm at. Atleast I can keep watching and will help where I can. Gabard you had mention awhile back about doing a website for your longs, I do webpages, if you would be interested in having me do the pages. Just an idea. Rob D.

PEG ... Greg I know that as another financial meaning on the market PEG = 1. To fix the price of a new security issue during the issuance period through buying and selling it in the open market in order to ensure that the price in the secondary market will not fall below the offering price. OR 2. To fix the rate at which foreign currencies exchange with one another. I will see if I can find the measure use are explaining. GB

Financial Measures ... profitability ratio = A comparison of two or more financial variables providing a relative measure of a firm's income-earning performance. Profitability ratios are of interest to creditors, managers, and especially owners. (Is this the PEG you were refering to) covariance =A statistical measure of the extent to which two variables move together. Covariance is used by financial analysts to measure the degree to which return on two securities is related. In general, a high covariance indicates similar movements and lack of diversification. M1 = The most restrictive measure of the domestic money supply that incorporates only money that is ordinarily used for spending on goods and services. M1 includes currency, checking account balances (including NOW accounts and credit union share draft accounts), and travelers' checks. This money measure is closely watched by financial observers because it is a key indicator of past and future Federal Reserve actions. return on equity (ROE) = A measure of the net income that a firm is able to earn as a percent of stockholders' investment. Many analysts consider ROE the single most important financial ratio applying to stockholders and the best measure of performance by a firm's management. Return on equity is calculated by dividing owners' equity into net income after taxes. variance = A statistical measure of the variability of measured data from the data's average value. A high variance, indicating relatively great variability, also indicates that the average is of minimal use in projecting future values for the data. Standard deviation is the square root of variance. Financial analysts use both statistical measures to weigh investment risk. debt management ratio = A measure of the extent to which a firm uses borrowed funds to finance its operations. Owners and creditors are interested in debt management ratios because the ratios indicate the riskiness of the firm's position. liquidity ratio = 1. Comparison of financial variables that serves as a measure of a company's ability to meet its short-term obligations as they become due. Or 2. The value of trading in a stock required to change the stock's price by 1%. A high ratio indicates that the stock has considerable liquidity. A stock's liquidity ratio is of primary importance to institutions and traders that deal in large volume and that wish to avoid securities with a lack of liquidity. GaBard
