...no but they usually vary between about 15 and 40 (in the internet boom they got ridiculous) Turn the p/e ratio round and you have your approx. earnings (you know like 10% return). Then estimate the growth (past earnings growth and extrapolate) so you can see how your earnings are going to grow.

do you know of a document containing typical p/e's by industry sector ?

Quite simple, look at the income stream and then work out whether your investment wouldn't be better off in a building soc. If it isn't, its interesting.

The "metrics" by the way are called "ratios", one interesting one is the "liquidity ratio".

doesn't take into account sector,

growth potential
