There's an interesting section at investor.msn.com called "Research Wizard". There are several simple analysis techniques they use. One of them, PE vs Industry PE, could interest people here due to past discussion of this topic. Maybe this will stop a certain person's endless comparison of CSCO vs IBM PE. What's the best guess for the stock price in 1-2 years? Investors fix targets for most stocks by estimating future earnings per share and then applying a price-to-earnings "multiple", also known as the P/E ratio. Companies with the most consistent earnings history or strongest growth prospects receive the highest P/E multiples. We calculate price targets for the current and next fiscal year by applying the stock's current multiple to the average professional analyst's estimate. Valuation using Cisco Systems's current multiple (P/E): Fiscal Year Est Low/High Price Range Avg. Est. Price %Change for Average 7/1999 $138.59-$149.33 $143.47 36.80% 7/2000 $165.92-$188.37 $177.63 69.37% Cisco Systems current price: $104.88 Cisco Systems current multiple (P/E): 97.60 Cisco Systems average 7/1999 estimate: $1.47 Cisco Systems low 7/1999 estimate: $1.42 Cisco Systems high 7/1999 estimate: $1.53 Cisco Systems average 7/2000 estimate: $1.82 Cisco Systems low 7/2000 estimate: $1.70 Cisco Systems high 7/2000 estimate: $1.93 What's the best guess for the stock if it were valued like its peers? Investors often come to believe that a stock is undervalued or overvalued compared to other stocks in its industrial group. To calculate an alternate target price for the current and next fiscal year based on those beliefs, investors can apply the average PE multiple for a company's industrial group to the average professional analyst's earnings estimate for the company in those periods. Valuation using the industry's current multiple (P/E): Fiscal Year Est. Price % Change 7/1999 $239.76 128.61% 7/2000 $296.84 183.04% Cisco Systems current price: $104.88 Networking & Communication Devices group current multiple (P/E): 163.10 Cisco Systems average 7/1999 analyst estimate: $1.47 Cisco Systems average 7/2000 analyst estimate: $1.82 How certain is the price estimate? Investors estimate the level of unanimity about a stock's prospects among analysts by calculating the range between the most optimistic and most pessimistic estimates. Average number of analysts covering Cisco Systems: 28 Cisco Systems analysts' high/low spread: 11% Cisco Systems analysts' confidence: High

OT Sie sind eine der unwissendsten Plagen, die ich berhaupt auf SI angetroffen. Warum nicht Sie Nehmen Ihr Kopf und shove ihn herauf Ihren Esel, als der ist, wo Ihre Gehirne sind. Just one question: is pidgin German "taubendeutsch"? <g> More seriously, I personally would be happier if everyone would just ignore spam, and concentrate on material issues. I don't think hurling insults, in whatever language, reduces the spam; in fact, it seems to increase, and then the insults do, too. I really don't find it terribly hard to just skip over the spam (though the more of it there is, the harder it gets). Anyway, that's my preference.
