WRONG AGAIN!!!! A lengthy explanation would be appreciated...but so far you don't explain your position, nor the reason you feel I am "wrong again". Which only leads me to one conclusion!! You really do not know what you are talking about, basically...because you haven't said anything yet!! You claim I am a hypster....I have said I liked the stock, which is not hyping!! Do you know what a P/E ratio is? Try E/P. What do you get? Yes, you are right, return on your investment. Real valuation ratios are relevant in assessing potential returns, risks and quality of a company. They are also a good measure of market mania when they stop making sense from an historical standpoint Real valuations ratios are relevant in assessing potential returns!! What you weakly recognize is that you are using a Price that has been given to a stock based on its peer group and what the market will pay. That peer group belongs to an Index, that Index has a multiple, that multiple is what rules!! If a stock is substantially below the index multiple, does that mean its a "terrific buy"?? Everytime you evaluate a companies value you value it against other models that are all apart of the same system, thereby the value is suspect from the onset. My, my, you need lessons in the market and I haven't the time to give them to you!! But keep trying to impress the people on the thread with your "unrefined market knowledge and jibberish"...maybe some naive threaders may believe you, I haven't the time!! the Chief
