    Most of the time you can trust the market to be right about as much as a bull in a China shop, currently only 13% of the shareholder base of this stock are setting the price, the other 87% are either sitting back doing nothing or accumulating off the 13%.

    You sound like my wife. I tell her: "only buy it if you actually need it and don't worry about the price. That way, saves you money in the long run and much less stuff to dump/hoard".

    My wife earns her own money and buys what she wants, when I've tried to interfere its always ended badly so I've learnt to shut up in the main. PS-She always buys A2 milk though so that's good.

    To be honest, I do both, only buy what I need and only buy on sale.

    So from my limited knowledge. If there are approx 800 million shares in ATM and the company has about $854 million in the bank account then with a PE of 1.0 the price per share would be about $1 ea ?

    At a PE (price to earnings ratio) of 1, the share price would equal the company profit/number of shares. Would have nothing to do with the money in the bank.

    And that would be the profit of the current financial year.

    You can look at the last announced profit or the forecast profit. You just need to be clear what you are looking at.
