| The only education worth your money is the Fast Money Trade School A company's Price to Earnings ratio is the most common way to measure how expensive a stock is. The PE ratio is essentially a snapshot of how much investors are willing to pay for a company's earnings. But different sectors trade at PE ratios. Tech stocks for instance, tend to trade at much higher multiples than old economy stocks like utilities. That's because Tech companies grow at a much faster pace, and investors will pay a premium for that rapid expansion. So when you compare a company's PE ratio to that of the sector in which it trades, you can make an apples-to-apples comparison. Be the Fast Money - know your PE ratios. | ||

 | TRADING AND YOGA In these volatile times on Wall Street, it is important to maintain your composure. That's why I find that nothing prepares me better for a busy day of trading than practicing yoga for an hour each morning. Yoga helps me find my center and clears my thoughts. When the market is up one minute and down the next, you can lose a lot of money by being too impetuous. You can't chase the tape; you need to think ahead of it. Of course, you should make adjustments to your portfolio here and there to reflect market realities, but your overall strategy or trading thesis should not be changing day to day. If it does, yoga may be the cure for you. Why? Because by practicing yoga, I get rid of my nervous energy. An hour of yoga in the morning will allow me to keep a level head for the rest of the day. Furthermore, yoga has improved my ability to focus intensely. Be it on a pose or on a trade, intense focus is the key to success. | ||

 | Godzilla versus King Kong. It's not some campy 70s Japanese film; it is the epic struggle taking place on Wall Street. Will the financial distress (King Kong) that has gripped the markets in the past two weeks undermine the global growth story (Godzilla) that propelled us to Dow 14,000 in the first place? The Fed was clearly so nervous about such a scenario that it stepped in, lowering the rate at which it lends money to banks and rescuing the markets for at least a day. Will it be enough, however, to assuage nervous traders going forward? And does this mean we can expect a rate cut when the Fed next meets? The Fast Money will be watching rate-sensitive stocks like the financials, utilities and companies that could benefit from a weakening dollar. We will also get a report card on the financial health of the consumer when a slew of retail companies report earnings. Target, Home Depot, Gap, Abercrombie & Fitch will all report results in the coming days. Wal-Mart's lousy outlook weighed on the sector this week. Now we will see if the problems at the nation's biggest retailer are Wal-Mart issues or something more serious. It could be another volatile week in what is traditionally a sleepy time for Wall Street. As always, an open market is one in which you can make money, and we will try to that all next week. I hope to see you then. Dylan . If you have suggestions for Fast Money or The Final Trade, please send an email to fastmoney@cnbc.com | ||
