As a guide or stragtegy for the Stock Market Simulation Game, you may look up historical price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios online.
The Price-Earnings (P/E) ratio determines the value of the company. You can get
a sense of how overvalued or undervalued a company might be. The Y-charts.com website will give you several years' worth of P/E numbers.
For Morningstar, go to Morningstar.com - Enter the ticker symbol to get to a company's page. Step 2, click on the "Valuation," tab and the current P/E appears with the average P/E for the company industry and the five-year average of that company. There is even a "forward," P/E which is an anticipated or expected earnings over the coming year.
Also consider going to Standard & Poor's (S&P) for data on P/E ratios and line
graphs to show historical data.
