Keep Faith In Rising P/E: Play 5 Top-Ranked Stocks
Generally, investors love stocks with a low price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio. The general perception is that the lower the P/E, the higher will be the value of the stock. The simple logic that a stock’s current market price does not justify (is not equivalent to) its higher earnings and therefore has room to run is behind […]
