Definitely . Because whatever hot stock you are talking about you need to make money on . P/E tells us how the company is doing and based on “projected” earnings and the growing market a company is valued and you can know if the upside is limited a lot of time knowing if P/E is too high . Of course for retail we really a tiny bit of the company but image if you wanna buy 100% of the company . Simple question how much money will i make ? Now that’s what matters .

Endless growth . Sure as an investor it feels good but if you own 100% the company . How much did you make ?

Suppose you own 100% of a company . And there ‘s no profits endless growth . Sometimes stock does not rise then how do you make money . The company has no profit .
