Goodbye….until humpday
I will be having surgery for my kidney stones on tuesday morning. I guess I’ll have to pay the hospital what the insurance company doesn’t pay. Scratch that…the Dr. decided to give me 3 more weeks to pass it since it is so close 
Also later this week I’ll be posting a rough draft of some financial highlights about me as a company and I’ll also explain some of the details of how it will work. I will be expecting some input and ideas of ways to make it more readable and to make it somewhat interesting. I know reading a bunch of stats isn’t the funnest thing to do.
I do have one question for any stat gurus out there. I’m thinking of setting the stock price that flows with a constant P/E ratio. Like say I set the P/E ratio at 10 forever. The stock price will rise as earnings rise. My question is….should I set the P/E ratio at 10 since I’m a slow growth “company” at the moment or set it at the average P/E ratio of 15? Or does it even matter?
Until later this week…Goodbye!

Best wishes!
Here is response to your question. I use S&P for most of my stock searches. I have access to S&P through my Scottrade account. You can also use Reuters to search stocks.

I’d say the P/E ratio doesn’t really matter unless you plan on adjusting it over time. Like if you’re doing something that could provide more income later on you could raise it a bit and then lower it when the income appears and the risk goes down. For instance if you decide to look for a new, higher paying job you could give it a bump until it materializes. But then you have to account for earnings surprises if the expected income doesn’t appear! hehe

I’m planning to leave it constant and as income increases it will force the stock price up by leaving the P/E constant.
