Peter, Thanks for the great advice. Ira - -----Original Message----- From: Peter Diamond [SMTP:diamond@vsi.net] Sent: Sunday, December 19, 1999 10:14 AM To: ikrakow_1999@yahoo.com; Persfin Subject: Dividends and P/E Ratios Ira, (I will preface this by saying, most of my individual stock investments are tech-based. Also, I am young and these are long-term investments.) Personally, I do not pay much attention to dividends, P/E and other fundamentals. The individual stocks I buy are of companies I believe in. Companies in industries I understand that I think have a good long-term growth potential. I have looked at some more "traditional" companies, and I do think you must consider fundamentals, but there are some questions you should ask of any company. Are sales and profits increasing? How does the company compare to its peers? You ignore these questions at your own risk. For me, the bottom line is, will this company be worth more in the future? The answer needs to be yes, either because the company has a solid track record of growth, or because they are in a growing industry where the potential for growth is high, even if the stock appears fundamentally overpriced right now.
