I think the trick is to only use one source to use for
comparitve results. That way you will not compare
apples with oranges.  If you use Mike's tool, use only
that to compare different stocks and values with each
other. If you use DGO, use only DGO.  You shouldn't
for example, use P/E from one place and compare it to
its 5 year high from a different source. You will go
nuts going from source to source on the internet for
financial data. I know I did. Stick to a few you
trust. The alternative is to look at the SEC filings
and calculate the values exactly like you want.
