Re Doesn't the p/e ratio scare you just a tad???

In general, a high P/E suggests that investors are expecting higher earnings growth in the future compared to companies with a lower P/E. However, the P/E ratio doesn't tell us the whole story itself. It's usually more useful to compare the P/E ratios of one company to other companies in the same industry, or to the market in general, or against the company's own historical P/E. It would not be useful for investors using the P/E ratio as a basis for their investment to compare the P/E of a technology company (high P/E) to a utility company (low P/E) as each industry has much different growth prospects.

Im still none the wiser.

I hated PE at school

Basil Brush is the Strongest Link!

Basil Brush was the strongest link on the Weakest Link panto special on Saturday 10th December.

Basil beat off stiff opposition from panto favourites including Christopher Biggins, Warwick Davies and Amanda Barrie to win 10,900 for the Blue Peter Treasure Trail Appeal.



Good old Basil.

Driver,

Postman Pat to deliver in Japan Jul 6 2005




Daily Post


POSTMAN Pat was yesterday set to embark on one of his biggest delivery rounds yet after his owner announced plans to send him to Japan.

Entertainment Rights said it had signed a deal with Buena Vista International to air shows featuring Pat and the rest of Greendale's residents on the Disney Channel in Japan.

The news comes less than a month after a similar agreement was clinched in the United States and sent shares in Entertainment Rights 5% higher.

Yesterday's deal gives Postman Pat access to the world's second largest toy market and includes 80

15-minute episodes as well as four special programmes for cable and satellite.

The Japanese toy market is worth around 5.5bn a year, behind that of the US which is estimated at 18.8bn.


Postman Pat is now watched by around a million viewers every day across the world.

Oh dear ,that's not good for Pat's wholesome image .

postman glitter!!! don't think much of the new uniform , though !!

magic and adventure as the cast of characters experience the wonderful world of
Nutwood. The much loved and instantly recognisable Rupert(R), Bill Badger,
Edward Trunk and Raggety the Tree Elf are joined by enchanting new characters
including Ping Pong, Ming and Miranda the Mermaid who explore Nutwood and other
fantastical locations in their adventures together.

opportunities including interactive, music downloads, games and hand held
devices. ER will be implementing a full consumer products campaign, online
campaign and DVD release programme for Rupert Bear(R) with product rolling out
from 2007. The Rupert(R) and Friends animated series will be launched globally
by ER at international television market MIPCOM in October 2006.
