Question about the Graphs on Morningstar

ACInvesting — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 18:50:02 GMT

Hi,

Does anyone know how to look at a graph of a particular stock's P/E compared with the S&P500 or some other general market index. This would be useful for me because as I am trying to value a stock, I like to see what the P/E is relative to past performance, peers, the industry, and the market in general. I'm not sure how to look at a graph of that last part (the stock's P/E vs. the market's P/E) using the Morningstar website.

Any tips would be really helpful!

Thanks,

Hannah Merves

Geometric average calculation

thinktanked — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 12:50:17 GMT

Hello, I created a post in "Investment Basics" about inaccurate geometric average calculations. It's not received many responses and since it's kind of academic I thought I'd post a link here also. Please let me know if you can have any ideas. Thanks.

KyleWB — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 00:48:55 GMT

I read alot of investing books, most torward value investing. I see alot of books out there about how to get rich quick and those never seem very helpful. I was just wondering if there are any recomendations about books that have lots of good information and not alot of hype?

Thanks

Hey, college students and grad students,

Do you ever use any of the Morningstar tools to do research for your finance and econ classes? Has it been helpful?

If you don't know about the tools, just ask! That's why we have this forum!

Educational IRA

students in college with plans that involve graduate school - what is the best way to save/invest?

do all online brokers offer educational IRAs (Coverdell Education Savings Account)? what type of allocation would you recommend for this type of fund.

cash would need to be taken out in 2-5 years to pay off tuition.
