How to read the results

P/E: dollars paid per $1 of yearly profit. See Lesson 4.
Earnings yield: the P/E flipped. Useful for comparing with bond or savings rates.
PEG: a rough growth adjustment. Near 1 is often called "fair for its growth." It's only as good as your growth guess.
Payback: if EPS grows at your rate, how many years of earnings add up to today's price. Faster growth shortens payback a lot, which is why investors pay high P/Es for growers.
