As a Brit living for around 5yrs in the US, and the rest of my life in the UK and Spain, i have to say that i think the writer of this article should have lived where i was in England his view of healthcare for the great british public would i am sure be completely different to that expressed in this article. Having spoken to many people here in the course of my charitable work over the last 5yrs i am now able to make a comparison between how the grassroots of people are treeted when it comes to healthcare in America and i have to say their is no comparison with that of the UK. The healthcare arrangements in the UK are in my opinion far superior to those with whom i have had contact with here in the US, when it comes to "availability" and also "affordability". I could give a number of actual comparisons but time for this blog has overtaken me. Sincerely. Pete.

I am surprised at the lack of response from the writer/publisher for clarification of

"the knocked down to a P/E ratio of only 4 times 2009 earnings, 6.3 times prospective 2011 earnings and 50% of book value. That’s ridiculous. It’s a screaming “Buy.”"

Does it mean that this cannot be defended i.e. inaccurate?
I would have thought that a swift and robust defence of the friendly challenge I made on 21 July would have been answered. :)

Morningstar shows a PE of 63.7 for Rio Tinto

These price ratios look like garbage to me, please investigate and correct if necessary:

Rio Tinto PLC (NYSE ADR: RTP) is a global miner and minerals refiner with substantial promise. Indeed, with the battering that natural-resources stocks have taken in the last few months, RTP has been knocked down to a P/E ratio of only 4 times 2009 earnings, 6.3 times prospective 2011 earnings and 50% of book value. That's ridiculous. It's a screaming "Buy."

On bloomberg the price to book ratio is 2.21x, and however you measure 2009 earnings the current price is at least 8 times them.

I cannot see how the Rio pe ratio of 4 times 2009 earnings have been calculated. Google finance shows a 0.75 cents as EPS.

Thanks
