Re: Wishful thinking and blind love. Jacob, since you seem to love those oversimplified quasiratios, I'd like to give you one more ratio into your toolbox: 100/7 = 14.3 100/4.75 = 21 21/14.3 = 1.47 Now you can use 47 % higher PER than 3/97 ! Got it ! Btw, IMO that 4.75 makes market risk so small that I can't even see it. Happy investing ! Regards, tepli

re: PE computation. The trailing 4Q earnings, according to Yahoo Financial, total $1.17 like you said. CSCO's Jul 98 earnings are reported as 0.32, yet the Crowell Weedon reserch abstract (from the Yahoo detailed research page, and quoted below) says it is 0.45. Which number is correct? Is the latter earnings based on exclusion of one time charges? Which should be used in computing PE and why? Thanks. On July 28, 1998 Crowell Weedon analyst Charles Wolf issued a 6 page Company Report on Cisco Systems, Inc. Report highlights: 'A STRONG BUY rating was extended to the company with a 12 month price target of $90-$110 per share. EPS for 1998 and 1999 were estimated to be $1.75 and $2.20, respectively. The company reported third quarter EPS of $0.45 versus $0.35 in the same period last year.'
