The PE Ratio The PE ratio can often behave differently for cyclical companies. Generally speaking, conservative investors often shy away from a high PE ratio and consider buying a company when the PE is depressed. Cyclical companies have sales and earnings that tend to undulate over time: they follow the business cycle, moving up and down in synch. The PE ratio, the price of the stock divided by its earnings per share, changes over time too. Let’s consider two extremes: at the onset of a recovery and when the economy starts to slide into recession. |

A stock option is a contract between two parties where one party agrees to supply the other of a specified number of shares of stock, at a specified price, within a given period of time. There are two types of option: puts and calls. Each option contract has a similar structure. For a given company, only the price and time period differ. Let's used the hypothetical XYZ Company again and discuss a Call Option and a Put Option. |

So before discussing Earnings per Share or EPS, the term should be defined. EPS (Earnings per Share) is Net Income after dividends have been paid on preferred shares divided by the number of shares outstanding. Each of those two new terms needs to be discussed. Net Income is another term for profit. You'll hear a range of different was of discussing income; for example, operating income is a term that's discussed often. However, Net Income has a special meaning. In another paper called Dollars and Sense, a company called Clayton Homes was used as an example. Clayton Homes no longer exists as a public company; nonetheless, its income statement from 1999 will be used as an example. |

The Efficient Market Theory (also referred to as the Efficient Market Hypothesis or The Principle of Capital Market Efficiency) is expressed in many ways, but one of the more common is that “all available information is reflected in the price of a stock.” The idea is that no one has an advantage. The minute something is known about a company, in fact the very nanosecond, the price of its stock and the value of its bonds adjust instantaneously to reflect this new knowledge. Securities—stocks and bonds—are always fairly priced. Most of us simply don’t believe this theory. I don't. I like the concept a lot, but personal experience leads me to believe that its a theory that's not fully formed. For one thing. If it’s true, why did stocks adjust so precipitously in October of 1987? In the US the markets are as efficient as markets can be; however, there does seem to be an element of the irrational every now and again. The stock market seems to be efficient in the long-term and pretty wacky in the short run. It was Benjamin Graham, Warren Buffett's mentor, who said that in the short term, the market is a voting machine; while in the long term, it’s a weighing machine. |

Why do stock prices plummet if earnings dip slightly?I delayed addressing this topic until we’d been through a bit of a numbers-fest! I talked earlier about money managers. In many cases, money managers have models for the financial performance of companies. Just as we will do in chapters 2 through 5, the models seek to learn the future, often using information learned from behavior in the past. These models are based on earnings or more likely free cash flow. In summary, free cash flow is the amount of cash you could extract from the business each accounting period without affecting its operations. |
