| Creep | What relevance does this have?! |
| johntan1979 | I'm pretty sure you won't ask what relevance does this have during the actual exam. |
| farhan92 | if an earnings report comes out websites are more likely to provide a P/E figure than the rest. |
| ascruggs92 | Creep are you serious or just trolling everyone? |
| khalifa92 | P/E ratio is mostly cited by media and analysts. |
| MathLoser | Keep in mind that P/E stands alone mean nothing. You have to compare it with the industry's P/E and the rival companies'. |
I passed! I did not get a chance to tell you before the exam - but your site was excellent. I will definitely take it next year for Level II.
