| weiw | it is not clear that the divident payout ratio is positively related to P/S ratio if you put it into the mathematical way. Remeber 1-b still affects g. |
| sahilb7 | Shouldn't it be negatively correlated with r? |
| Omi1987 | if r goes up then P/S comes down. It is negatively correlated. |
Thanks again for your wonderful site ... it definitely made the difference.
