"Look at the multiples to see where the mkt is trading"

What is the above statement referring?

Typically price-to-earnings ratio.

If a company earns $0.10 a share a year (100,000,000 shares and the company earned $10,000,000 last year) and the stock is trading at $1.50 a share, that's 15 times earnings.

For well established companies that don't see much growth, P/E ratios of 15-17 are common.

Honestly, you should not even be thinking about the stock market if you don't know this.
