ruth,
that's right. Another way of looking at it is that if a company has a p/e of 10, then if it paid all it's earnings out as dividends and if you buy some shares today then you would get all your money paid back in 10 years.

ruth I expect if it does go through 420 the move will be quite violent - there must be a lot of stops there.

[ruth] 16/11/2001 14:35

L2 arm strongest ive ever seen it 12 buyers to every 1 seller,if this doesnt push it past 420,what will?

[ruth] 16/11/2001 14:31

can someone briefly tell me whar relevance the p/e has on a stock,does it mean roughly that if a stock is say a p/e of 10 if someone wanted to buy them out they have to pay 10 years worth of profit for the company,or am i totally barking up the wrong tree

[ruth] 16/11/2001 14:26

is log forming an intraday double top?

[ruth] 16/11/2001 14:24

Ruth

Bought some Dec ARM puts and sold some o/m calls to pay. May do the same for LOG after NOV expiry.

LLucky : re your earlier comment . Option deadline on 21st and several shares like TSCO and RTO trading at or close to critical exercise level. Are they manipulated down ?? How do you read it ?

[ruth] 16/11/2001 14:18

industrial production worse than expected,just on bloomberg,but not affecting markets as yet,think you can throw anything at it and it still wont come down

[harvester] 16/11/2001 14:17

David: ICI present strength due to drop of oil price ? Otherwise agree re longterm problems as highlighted recently by ST .
Ruth: Bus companies also benefitting from expectation of fuel cost drop . I prefer NEX and arriva .
Re: Moni .Obviously very high risk but company still has huge following of hopeful gamblers , especially now they have been on a short winning streak. Note of caution : A huge sale of 69Mill shares went through at market close recently @ 26p but seems to have caught little market attention .
Nice comments alround here today .

JR - ICI, noted. My bet is not high-roller material and I would be stopped by 450 anyway :)

Tim,im sure it will,along with arm,sge,msy,but when?thing do seem to be slowing down though,taking a little breather,or running out of steam?

[tim] 16/11/2001 14:08

You guys read KSB perfectly, well done. Let me know when to get back in!

Ruth - LOG going to make a great short at some point

[niggle] 16/11/2001 14:07

struggling to get over 7.60 right now. pre Dow nerves

[jackrussel] 16/11/2001 14:06

niggle,

Re WPP, I have this niggling feeling that if this irrational exuberance continues ( it could ? ) then if WPP closes above 200 day ma and long term downtrend, it is very likely to continue upwards.
Particularly if it closes above both over 2 days.

I am happy to be corrected by those with greater knowledge :-)

[jackrussel] 16/11/2001 13:41

WPP now at top of 18 month downtrend,and just above 200 day MA,

[matthewa] 16/11/2001 13:41
