TPX an expensive Stock?     16-Oct-09 03:58 pm    
Simple math says that at a $20 stock with $1 per share in earnings has a Price to Earnings ratio of 20. That is a very high multiple in today's world. I sold at $19.50 but I wish I had waited until $23 before selling. LOL. Of course, I bought between $12 and $8 per share so I shouldn't complain. The high point for this stock was $1.50 per share of earnings in the final boom year of 2006. I don't see those levels coming back for a while so I'm not sure how there is much more short term upside in this stock. Any catalysts for $2 per share besides some industry consolidation on the supply side?
