STATS ARE KILLING ME

Guys - some ignorance on my part, but I must express my surprise at the following stats: PE 40,44; DY 0,41; EY 2,47 at 20096cps. MDC converted from: PE 23,96; DY 0,78; EY 4,17 at 12025cps. It is above me to find justification to be part of this bubble. Carry me out if you will?

I have no real idea what factors or metrics the "consensus" givers use to rate buy, hold or sell....answer that and you will find your reason.

I think the problem is that the EPS and PE are calculated in ZAR, while the numbers are reported in GBP - so I think the stats are lost in translation - with exchange rate factored into this thereby skewing OST's numbers
