Re: Re: Re: [sharechat] P/E Ratios

Firstly there is no offence intended and I offered my possible explanation. There are only two possible explanations for the sometimes wierd variations that are published - content of the source data (eg timing present or projected) and interpretation.Such are the variations that I think some of the results are in error and hence the suggestion only of lack of expertise.The only rule is to look into the accounts personally.

Now personally, I ignore current PEs and will only use them to establish a PEG. If the company is without a profit then there is no PE anyway and the PSR becomes the dominant feature.

All of the above is strictly a personal opinion and everybody else should ignore it completely.
