Damn. You explain it like for idiots. I love it :D it's good for a revision. thanks a bunch! Staying with you :) It only solidifies the fact you exactly know what you're doing period.
The firm still issues financial statements even though it isn't publically traded. It can also have private stock that is not sold on any exchange. You would basically have to get access to the company's financial statements in order to calculate EPS. Here's a video on how to calculate EPS: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3AoS6IxZf-s.html Thanks for watching!
behavioral finance is the best way to stay out of trouble! You can never know the future of valuations - that's all nonsense. Cisco 3/10/20 217 p.e. 50,000% gain since IPO 1990 - 2 years later stock at $7.50. 17 years stayed below 30. IPO 1990 aftermarket interest zero. Kills fancy accounting p.e. forwards. There was no industry when the best time to buy p.e. was 40 and went up in 1999 p.e. 75! Should have been going lower the larger the company got. Investors? sorry, speculators (an investor is guaranteed fixed contract rate over current capital) P.e is just showing the behavior of the market in time.
