SWS, an internet discount brokerage has a Price to Earnings ratio of 8 ! NYSE: SWS Coming off its 52 week low strongly today. AMTD trades 6500 times earnings. EGRP trades 600 times earnings. (up 10-19 points today $56-$60) SWS trades 8 times earnings. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure this one out. SWS trades between $16-$17 mydiscountbroker.com is the web site for the brokerage. Trading doesn't get any easier than this: NO BRAINER P/E of 8 in this internet crazed market? Any thoughts Mike? As you can tell, I'm a little excited about possibly identifying an unknown diamond. -DavidCG

MB: You probably have mentioned this somewhere--but maybe today would call for an update. Couldn't help noticing the utterly insane jumps of AOL, Amazon, etc. today. I had decided not to buy any more options, but I think maybe some puts on these might be in order. Would you or anyone else have any suggestions as to the best bet on AOL and Amazon puts? I guess I could just do my own homework, but there are people on the thread who a lot smarter and I would like a suggestion or two, if anyone feels so disposed.
