wit's end,
Of course I take forums seriously because I am not here to make a mockery of myself. When people are looking for suggestions, I try my best to help. Since you have spewed your guts about nothing related to what the originator of the thread is requesting for (for the second time) I will have to seriously reconsider next time I reply to your nonsense.

You said, ""But do your homework before you make any investment decisions"..what unmitigated bullcrap!"
What bullcrap indeed. You expect someone to just buy stocks based on 'recommendations?' Doing homework doesn't mean solving Black-Scholes PDEs to find the value of the stock. It means looking at the fundamentals. And yes, P/E and EPS ratios are in the fundamentals.

"we would never know what they cooking in their balance sheet or income statement. "
What, you think every company is Enron? Unless you are an insider, you have no idea of what the company is cooking. There has to be trust, otherwise there wouldn't be a stock market.
Of course the stock market is volatile, but sometimes you can be blatently stupid in terms of investing.

"Recommending individual stocks like GE...now that is speculating!!"
You are seriously telling me GE is not undervalued? Quote me in a year! The current price is 10.41.
