The PE ratio measures the
reported earnings of a company to its current stock price. While earnings are
easy to manipulate on the balance sheet, this ratio gives you a sense of what
buyers are willing to pay for the stock—what they believe it will do in
the future.
Comparing a stock's PE to the average PE of companies in its industry gives
you a sense of market sentiment about the stock and how well it fares
financially. It's not the only number, nor the most important, but comparing
similar companies is valuable. A ratio far above or below that of its peers is
significant.
Industries are more specific than sectors, so companies within most
industries are more similar than are companies within an industry. Be aware
that the size and customers of companies are important to their prospects.

The cash yield of a stock is
the ratio of free cash per share—real dollars available after bringing in
revenue and paying bills—to the current price of the stock. It's similar
to the PE ratio, but it's less prone to manipulation through accounting
practices.
In general, the less you have to pay to make more money, the better.

This stock has short interest! This means that people have shorted it.
Why does that matter? They've made a bet that price will decrease from where
they bought it. Maybe there are financial problems, or maybe there's a value
play.
As of the latest analysis, there are 3,668,985 shares shorted. With 20,655,734 shares available for purchase and an average trading
volume over the past 10 trading days of 295,422, it would take at least 12.419 days for all of the short holders to cover their
shorts.
What does this mean to you? At this volume, it'll take more than two trading
weeks for shorts to cover. This may indicate a short squeeze play would work!
If this stock has good fundamentals and it'll take a while for the short
holders to cover, buying now could net you bigger short-term technical gains if
and as the price rises.
