About Price to Sales Ratio

The price to sales ratio (PS ratio) is calculated by dividing stock price by the revenue per share. It is most useful for comparing companies within a sector or industry because "normal" values for this ratio vary from industry to industry. In general, low price to sales ratios are more appealing because they suggest that a company is undervalued.

An example illustrating why PS ratios should not be compared across industries: On June 21, 2010, Starbucks had a PS ratio of 1.12 while Yahoo! had a PS ratio of 2.56. In other words, Yahoo! shareholders were paying $2.56 for $1 of sales while Starbucks shareholders would only pay $1.12 for $1 of sales. However, at that same moment, the two companies' price to earnings ratios were virtually identical (Starbucks: 28.09 and Yahoo!: 27.78). Hence, shareholders were paying nearly the same amount for $1.00 in earnings. The PS ratios, though, are less comparable since Yahoo!'s profit margins are much higher than that of Starbucks.

$GOOG had a perfect retracement to the 78.60% level but is now losing conviction to any one direction. Should stay in that area.

Is $GOOG a good candidate to short? Probably yes, but give it 620 levels, I don&#39;t think it will push back 2011 highs sometime soon.

Nice healthy dip for $GOOG today and yesterday. I&#39;ve long those 700$ calls(june), so I like to see this before a break of the 50DMA.
