        thought it was roughly 1.5x the turnover (1 year) of the company...

            Quite simple, look at the income stream and then work out whether your investment wouldn't be better off in a building soc. If it isn't, its interesting.

            The "metrics" by the way are called "ratios", one interesting one is the "liquidity ratio".

                ...no but they usually vary between about 15 and 40 (in the internet boom they got ridiculous) Turn the p/e ratio round and you have your approx. earnings (you know like 10% return). Then estimate the growth (past earnings growth and extrapolate) so you can see how your earnings are going to grow.

                  yes,

                  " but they usually vary between about 15 and 40 ",

                  and I'd like to get a list by industry sector including
                  the different stages of a company's development from
                  growth to maturity

                  ta
