In this episode you will learn: - How Earnings Per Share (EPS) is the foundation for the P/E ratio, a key valuation metric. - The difference between growth stocks (high P/E, low dividends) and value stocks (low P/E, higher dividends) for suitability questions. - That technical analysis focuses on chart patterns and trading volume, ignoring a company's financial health. - Why high short interest can be a contrarian bullish signal, representing future buying pressure. - How all valuation metrics are ultimately used on the Series 7 exam to determine a suitable recommendation for a client.
