Maybe someone with a little better perspective can clarify this for me. I have checked 4 different sources for current P/E values. These are the results: BigCharts P/E 174.09 with earnings of $ 0.82 Yahoo P/E 211.01 with earnings of $ 0.67 Bloomberg P/E 460 with earnings of $ 0.31 Nasdaq P/E 264 with earnings of $ 0.54 The current trailing twelve month earnings are $ 0.31, which is also reflected in Bloomberg's P/E. Yahoo shows next year's projected earnings to be about $ 0.54, but that is not what they are using to calculate P/E. Sooooo, what does all that mean? I realize that we are trading on future earnings, but what is reasonable, and how far ahead do we look? Where do the above earning values come from? Thanks in advance! Regards - Craig
