hmmm.... Just now, I reloaded the Fundamental data, first basic, then extended. Then I did a Save in AmiBroker, then shutdown Amibroker, then restarted and checked the ticker of GE. Still flipped in AmiBroker: P/E = 8.70 (looks good) Forward P/E = .94 (hmmm...) EPS est. Next Year = .94 (looks good) Foward EPS = 14.26 (hmmm...)
Looked on Yahoo to confirm my figures are flipped. I also confirmed aqfe.format file as: $NOQUOTES 1 $AUTOADD 1 $OVERWRITE 1 $SEPARATOR , $FORMAT CLOSE, FORWARD_PE, PEG_RATIO, PROFIT_MARGIN, OPERATING_MARGIN, RETURN_ON_ASSETS, RETURN_ON_EQUITY, REVENUE, QTRLY_REVENUE_GROWTH, GROSS_PROFIT, EBITDA, EPS, QTRLY_EARNINGS_GROWTH, BOOK_VALUE_PER_SHARE, OPERATING_CASH_FLOW, FREE_CASH_FLOW, BETA, SHARES_OUT, SHARES_FLOAT, INSIDER_HOLD_PERCENT, INSTIT_HOLD_PERCENT, SHARES_SHORT_PREV,SHARES_SHORT, FORWARD_DIV, DIVIDEND, DIV_PAY_DATE, EX_DIV_DATE, LAST_SPLIT_RATIO, LAST_SPLIT_DATE --- In [email protected], "Tomasz Janeczko" <gro...@...> wrote: > > Hello, > > No. It is correct.
