Topic: Price to Earning Ratio & Earnings Per Share
Posted: Sunday, September 30, 2007 2:44:59 PM
For instance,on Friday,September 28,2007, Telecharts show the following numbers for symbol NITE:
P/E Ratio = 9.30, Earning Per Share = 0.24

At MarketWatch.com:
P/E Ratio = 9.20, EPS (Earning Per Share) - 1.30

There's a lot of difference between an EPS of 0.24 and 1.30.

With that much difference in the earnings, wouldn't you expect a much greater difference in the Price/Earnings Ratio? Obviously, I just don't get it!!

Can you tell me why the P/E Ratio and the Earnings Per Share numbers that show up on other Financial Web Sites do not agree with the numbers reported in Telecharts?

Bruce, thank you for trying to figure out how to do ROI! I'm disappointed, but I really appreciate your honesty and the fact that you didn't just ignor the question.

If you find a way to come up with the numbers somewhere down the line, please let us know.

According to Phil's book the formula for ROIC is: net operating profit after tax/equity+debt

I hope that will help.

I've noticed there are quite a few people trying to use your programs to find stocks that meet Phil Town's Rule 1 strategy. However you don't seem to have the resources to meet the need. Does anyone know of software that can do what we're looking for?

QUOTE (Kuf)
by 10% return do you mean a gain of 10% or more? Over what time period would the 200,000 shares and the 10% gain occur?


200,000 shares traded per day and 10% or more return on investment capital. MSN Money reports Return on Capital under Key Ratios. They show a current number and also a 5 year number. Here's a link to the Panera Bread report. http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/invsub/results/compare.asp?Page=InvestmentReturns&Symbol=PNRA

I wish I knew a better way to explain what I'm looking for, but that's the best I can do.

By the way, did I use the correct method to reply to your post?

I've been waiting for several days to get an answer on previous posts and have noticed that I'm not the only one that hasn't gotten a response. What has to happen for a person to get an answer? I've searched high and low on this site for answers as well as googling for other users that might be able to help. Anybody have a suggestion?

Is it possible to search for stock with a minimum 10% return on investment capital and 200,000 shares traded within Blocks 2.0?

I'm looking for the same things for Blocks. Are these numbers available in Blocks 2.0?



QUOTE (legal1)
I would like to set up an easy scan that scans for all stocks meeting the following personal criteria:

Return on investment capital of 10% or greater, for the last ten years;
Sales (or Revenue) growth rate of 10% or greater, for the last ten years;
Earnings per share growth rate of 10% or greater, for the last ten years;
Equity (Book Value, or Book Value Per Share) growth rate of 10% or greater, for the last ten years;
Free Cash Flow growth rate of 10% or greater, for the last ten years.

Could you please tell me how I would go about setting up an easy scan that scans for stocks meeting these conditions?

Thank you

Topic: Need help setting up strategy in Blocks
Posted: Tuesday, August 7, 2007 10:13:08 PM
I'm new to both TeleCharts2000 and Blocks. I need help with setting up a strategy in blocks. I'd like to be able to scan for companies that have a minimum of 10% return on investment capital and would like to see numbers for the 10 year return, 5 year return, and 1 year return. I'd like to be able to see the sales growth rate, the earning per share growth rate, the equity growth rate, and the cash growth rate. I'm working on becoming a better investor and this strategy is from Phil Town's book Rule #1. If you're familiar with the book and could offer some more tips on how to improve what I'm doing by adding some buy and sell pointers to my charts or anything else. I'd appreciate the help.

Thanks
