QUOTE (Y2HH @ May 25, 2012 -> 10:12 AM) All of these recent IPO's are a sure sign of .COM 2.0's arrival. LinkedIn: Current Price: 97.70 (Giving them a P/E Ratio of a massive 603.76) Groupon: Current Price: 12.05 (No P/E ratio, as they make no money, and are currently losing .33 cents per share) Facebook: Current Price: 32.20 (Giving them a P/E Ratio of 103.06) Q: What is P/E ratio? A: A valuation ratio of a company's current share price compared to its per-share earnings. In short: The P/E is sometimes referred to as the "multiple", because it shows how much investors are willing to pay per dollar of earnings. If a company were currently trading at a multiple (P/E) of 20, the interpretation is that an investor is willing to pay $20 for $1 of current earnings. A "fair" P/E ratio is usually in the 10-20 range (give or take). Even companies like Apple, Microsoft, IBM, Exxon and Google trade in that range. If Apple was trading at the P/E ratio of Facebook, it would be trading at $4,227 per share. If Apple was trading at the P/E ratio of LinkedIn, it would be trading at $24,766 per share. That is how insanely overvalued those companies are.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 25, 2012 -> 07:29 AM) Nope, didn't have to do that. For well designed, integrated public transit, this is exactly what should be said in reply.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ May 24, 2012 -> 11:53 PM) Depends on if Bosh plays and is healthy. If he isn't the Celtics or Sixers will steal at least a game. A game? The Pacers took 2 and the Celtics are only going to take 1? Without Bosh, this could easily go 7. The Celtics are simply a more disciplined team than the Pacers. They can get under the Heat's skin too...but they will also run smarter offense and defense.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 25, 2012 -> 12:13 AM) Is Miami's stadium indoor? Retractible roof? Please tell me most games are played with the roof open? I hate domes. Ozzie does too. Retractable roof. They have some wall windows they can open as well. Supposedly for games, roof closed, windows open is the setting they prefer.

This game was in loving memory of Ursula.

Yeah, bumping an active thread after a slam. Why not.

Well now that's better.

QUOTE (Baron @ May 24, 2012 -> 09:55 PM) Does that mean I want Gavin now? Just a while ago people were ready to ship him off It's a game thread. Te only thing that matters in here is what you did 7 minutes ago. Nate Jones is a complete failure and his career is over after that double, he should be released.

QUOTE (Baron @ May 24, 2012 -> 09:53 PM) Gavin can be a nice piece on another team. Ill take prospects. Philip Humber and Gavin Floyd were exactly that type of prospect youd want.

At least they'll get it right

Foul.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ May 24, 2012 -> 09:49 PM) Its a one run game sir...dont give up just yet Tied.

Ohman up if it gets to mauer

Nice throw Gordon.

"A Hawthorne Woods Hopper"? Anyone?

Come on Pacers, make a couple shots and you can win this.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 24, 2012 -> 09:13 PM) The wind is going to make it impossible to call anything before it lands, especially from Hawk's angle. He was doing his HR call as the CF was fielding the ball on the 2nd hop.

Damnit Hawk, bad, bad, bad call. Ugh.

Dadgummit is right.

We scored a Twins style run!

QUOTE (fathom @ May 24, 2012 -> 08:56 PM) I'm going to predict that Beckham homers off of the pitcher during this game to the opposite field. Nailed a line drive single to LF if that counts.

Problem with attempting that is that Talkbears is actually a functioning, independent site, and a lot of those posters were dragged to our site after their website closed...so closing them down and dragging them here would probably lose a fair amount of those members from that area.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 24, 2012 -> 08:57 PM) But yeah, his 2010 season with the Twins was pretty impressive, while he was used properly like some of us wanted Ozzie to do 3 years beforehand. Fixed that for you.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ May 24, 2012 -> 07:24 PM) I'm impressed with myself about how I managed to erase knowledge of that song. Until this post. You now have a reason to go kill a whole lot of brain cells using alcohol. You're welcome.
