In the world of dividend growth investing, PE ratio is a very important metric. Managing a stock portfolio with over 30 positions can be complex. When deploying new capital, it's sometimes unclear which stock presents the best current value. PE ratio (price divided by earnings for the trailing 12 months) is a favorite metric for finding value in dividend stocks. With the goal of early financial freedom, I'm all about buying stocks that are "on sale" providing the best value.
Today's video, a response to a subscriber question, discusses the price earnings ratio from a variety of perspectives. In particular, I cover:
* What is a PE ratio (the price earnings ratio)?
* What is the difference between a backward-looking (trailing 12 months) PE ratio and a forward-looking PE ratio? Why do I personally prefer the trailing 12 months (backward-looking) PE?
* How do PE ratios vary by sector?
* How do PE ratios vary by market (bull market vs. bear market)?
* What are acceptable ranges of PE ratios by sector for my personal portfolio? (Where is the "buy zone" by sector?)
* Sectors covered include: utilities, consumer non-cyclical, industrials, healthcare, restaurants, financial, energy, technology, and retail.
* Learn why PE ratio does not apply to real estate investment trusts (REITs).
In my dividend growth stock portfolio, I analyze PE ratio perhaps more than any other metric. Thanks for the great question, and please keep them coming! Subscriber questions fuel the content of this channel.

About the Site π
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. π₯
Origins of the Idea π±
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. π§
Challenges Faced π€
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. π
Creating Truly Random Links π οΈ
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube πΊ
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. π
Content and Users π΅
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact π€
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. π
