Price/Earnings:
P/E Ratio: This is one of the many ways of assessing the rating of a company. The term is short for the ratio of share price to earnings. It shows how highly the company is regarded by other investors and how many years profit at the current levels an investor would have to pay for when buying the shares. The ratio is calculated by taking the net profit of the company and dividing it by the number of shares on issue. This gives earnings per share, which is then divided into the share price.
More Information On P/ Ration Here
Generally a high P/E ratio means that investors are anticipating higher growth in the future.
The average market P/E ratio is 16-25 times earnings.
The P/E ratio can use in conjunction with earnings estimates to get the forward looking P/E ratio.
Companies that are losing money do not have a P/E ratio.
Price/Book:
Price/Book Ratio (P/B): This is the company's share price divided by its net asset value. This is an estimation of the value of the company based on its assets. These will be everything from property, cash deposits, investments and products it has not yet sold. It is used by fund managers and professional investors when deciding whether to buy shares in a company.
Used to compare a stock's market value to its book value, calculated by dividing the current market price by the book value
A lower Price-To-Book Ratio could mean that the stock is undervalued. But it could also mean that something is fundamentally wrong with the company
Price/earnings Ratio (P/E) This is also used in investment analysis and is the company's share price divided by its earnings per share. Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit by the number of ordinary shares the company has issued. The lower the P/E ratio the 'better value' the holding. The higher the P/E, the greater is the expectation in terms of increased future profitability. The price-earnings ratio is sometimes called the 'multiple' of the company.

Short Interest Ratio:
This is the short interest divided by the average daily volume for a stock.
(Also known as the Short Ratio.)
The Short Interest Ratio represents the number of days it would take to cover the Short Interest if trading continued at the average daily volume for the month.
It is calculated as:
Short Interest for the Current Month / Average Daily Volume
Short Interest
The total number of shares of a security that have been sold short
by customers and securities firms.
This is typically expressed as a percentage, for example 3% short interest means that 3% of the outstanding shares are held short.
Selling Short
Short selling is the selling of a security that the seller does not own, or any sale that is completed by the delivery of a security borrowed by the seller. Short selling is a legitimate trading strategy. Short sellers assume the risk that they will be able to buy the stock at a more favorable price than the price at which they sold short.
In other words you make money if the stock goes down in price.
