kulmanji, just recollected, when we met, you talked about mcap to profits ratio for L&T and its comparison with FD's - i couldn't get that comparison, can you please throw some moonlight on it?

Johnybravo Sir, Jab You Met Kulman Sir, why were you discussing so very complicated things.....?????? By the way, Market Cap to Profits, and in case Profits mean Net Profit, is nothing but P/E ratio......!!!!

sukhaniji, ofcourse, but what relation can a PE have with returns from FDs?
high or low PE its a market perception - nothing to do with practical returns one can get.

Thoda context bhi samajh lo bhaya, mana ki tussi genius ho, tussi genius hi nahi tussi indigenous ho!!

Now thats a different matter......but in my humble opinion, Kulman Sir se milne ke baad yeh sab baat......??????? Thats why I gave that post.
 
Now, Mcap to profits does have a linkage with FD returns. The inverse of P/E is E/P which is what gets compared with the FD returns. Some quants trade on the basis of these 2 yield differences.....

now we indeed had a talk about a lot of other things but those things lie outside the purview or rather the mandate of TED and kulman has an image of being a sajjan on this forum.

The last time I talked about PE was while asking directions to the loo in a restaurant.
