The Price To Earnings Ratio Explained

The Price To Earnings Ratio Explained

We talked about P/E ratios in our last class when we had Chloé P. as our guest.  I was surprised that not many of you knew the terms on the paper like bear market or bull market.  

I'm not sure I explained the P/E properly so here's a video explanation from my favorite investment and finance vocabulary site:  investopedia.com .

Hope you all have a great vacation next week!

The Facebook job test: Now interviewers want your logins • The Register

The Facebook job test: Now interviewers want your logins • The Register:
Is this something you want to do? Read all about it on the Register.  Or is this an April Fools Day announcement?  Apparently not... here's a link to the original AP article.



(BTW Do you know this UK site? "The Register"-- "Biting the hand that feeds IT" is their slogan.  They're also home to the BOFH... one of the earliest forms of Internet humor!

----------------
Who knows... just to be safe, make sure all your online presence is something you can share!

--------------------------

We'll have a guest tomorrow in class. She's presently a junior at Skidmore College and will be happy to meet you and talk about her professional experience so far and American university life.

(Everything you wanted to know and never dared ask!  So think of some good questions!)
