<< We can see that coms is selling at a very low psr. Much lower than BAY and ASND. Asnd is really expensive. Mang >> Comparing P/S of a company like COMS to A$ND and C$CO makes no sense. Look at the profit margins and performances of those companies. Way better than COMS. CS has an even lower P/S ratio. If that's all that is important then why don't you put all your $ into CS instead of COMS? It has a lower P/S ratio, correct?

<<CSCO has 10x market cap yet only 2x sales over COMS. 2. ASND has 1x market cap yet only x/4 sales. 3. BAY is about 3x/4 market cap yet has negative earnings unlike COMS which has remained positive. > Blank, I don't understand your no. 2 and no. 3 above. My understanding for price/sales ratio for various companies are : Cisco 10.6 ASND 8.2 BAY 2.9 COMS 2.0 CS 1.4 We can see that coms is selling at a very low psr. Much lower than BAY and ASND. Asnd is really expensive. Mang >> all have 4 wheels, take unleaded and go on freeway about the same speed - some cheap but others not - the unpsr way
