[sharechat] Newbie Question

From:	"Paul Jackson" <j+pjackson@xtra.co.nz>

I am struggling to understand PE ratios. Please correct me if I'm wrong, my understanding is the ratio of the current share price to the forecasted earnings of the company. If so who does the forecast? The company? An analyst? What method is used to forecast this? Who checks the maths and logic in the forecast?

Your help in this would be appreciated

Paul
