Will, <<Quite correct re book value, but what if the cash portion of the assets is equal to or above the stock price ? -- so lets look at price/cash ratios.>> So you find a very low ratio. What then? Lets say I come to you and say, "I have a lot of cash but want some more to start a business which I haven't defined yet but I had some success in this other business." Want to invest? In other words low P/Cash, P/Es, P/Bs, P/Sales are simply tools to let you select companies on which you then go do very diligent research. Right? I agree that price to book is less meaningful as technology turns increase in frequency. Best, Stitch
