Google or Wikipedia can do a far better job than we can... Why even ask such questions?

The tagline of wazua says it all,
"serious talk about wealth"
If we start teaching people about basic abbreviations will that be SERIOUS TALK or SERIOUS TUTORIAL.

With listed companies going for complex derivatives & corporate deals (EAPC famous yen loan, KQs ultra-famous fuel hedge, CFCS spin-off, et al), that can as easily make us rich or poor overnight, it’s extremely risky not know how to interpret EPS / PE, let alone knowing what they are . . .

But I suspect millennium is only pulling wazuans’ legs – he must at least know of JUST GOOGLE IT

Thought your target price was around 6.10. Have you decided to hold it for 'a very long time?'
