It invests strictly in pornography studios, liquor stores, gentleman’s and darkness clubs, brothels, coffeehouses in Amsterdam, or anything similar; anything totally sick and deranged, and legalized of course, that craft gobs of money as our culture and country disintegrates?There are core telecommunication companies like AT&T that are involved within pornography distribution but the question is roughly speaking investment funds focused on up start companies.

The price/earnings ratio (PE) is the most commonly used valuation measure. It compares the price of a share to the company's EPS. It directly relates the price of a share to the proportion of the company's profits that belong to the owner of that share.
One of the reasons for the popularity of the PE ratio is its simplicity. It is:
share price ÷ EPS
Headline or adjusted EPS is usually preferable to basic EPS. A diluted EPS is usually preferable to an undiluted one.
A higher PE means that the same share of a company's profits will cost a prospective shareholder more. There are usually reasons for a higher PE. It may reflect faster expected earnings growth, or lower risk earnings.
As investors are most interested in future cash flows, prospective PE and other future PEs are usually more important than historical PEs.
Earnings per share (EPS) is the profit attributable to shareholders (after interest, tax, minority interests and everything else) divided by the number of shares in issue. It is the amount of a company's profits that belong to a single ordinary share.
Companies are required to publish the statutory (also called "basic") EPS but there are a number of adjusted EPS numbers that are more useful to investors.
The most common alternative EPS numbers used are adjusted or headline EPS and diluted EPS.
Are uninsured bonds safer than stocks in cases of default?
Answers: Even uninsured bonds rank higher in the capital structure of a business than the stock or the equity of the business. In the event of a default or a bankruptcy, bonds or debentures have a higher ranked claim in the distribution of assets. Equity holders have what is called a residual claim which is the remainder after all other claims have been satisfied.
Bond insurance generally applies to municipal bonds rather than corporate bonds. In the case of a municipality, there really is no "equity" per se. So corporate bonds are never insured.
The shareholder ranks at the very bottom of the capital structure totem pole in terms of his claim to the assets. In an accounting sense, the shareholder equity is the difference between the assets less the prior claims, the liabilities. For accepting such a low rank, the equity holder has the right to appoint management (which no one else in the capital structure has) and has the right to participate in the growth of the firm, often through a growing dividend stream. If the firm is sold, nobody else's position in the firm can reflect any "growth." of the value of the firm.
