Bill Ackman's Big Pharma Trade: The Drama Doesn't Stop
I think I followed you till the last sentence. Basically Ackman tried to get around the exact wording of the law, in his own thinking, but may have failed to do that successfully. I'd nail him for insider trading "in substance" anyway - that was my argument.

Is that a private company? Are there public companies in this area too?
Dollar’s Ride Is About To End
If the Fed restarts QE, can it prevent interest rates from rising and the disaster that would bring on? Can they somehow balance inflation, deflation, and interest rates as they are now by bringing on QE and then taking it away and then starting it up again when needed...? What would be the first thing to fail?

Dividend Aristocrats In Focus Part 22: T. Rowe Price Group
Here's an example, Henry Blodget says "26." http://www.businessinsider.com/long-term-stock-chart-pe-ratio-2014-10. Your number is 18, and here's a site that says trailing is 18 (matches your site) and forward is about 15: http://online.wsj.com/mdc/public/page/2_3021-peyield.html. It's odd that if the number is so important for making predictions, that people are so unclear on what number they are using (trailing vs. forward) and how they are calculating it. I don't know where Henry Blodget got his numbers, but it seems like he shouldn't be confused himself on the topic....

SureDividend, maybe you can help me with another question I have on the S&P's P/E. Some authors are saying it's about 16 and others are quoting about 26 (and saying it's at historical highs). Why are these numbers different from one author to another? Thanks! Ilene
