Using trailing PE shows an inaccurate picture for a high growth company so it makes more sense to just take the last quarter and project forwards.

dashmeet | 2 years ago | on: Malignant melanoma deploys elegant molecular mechanism to evade immune responses
The only problem is that these individually minded (cancer) cells have every ability of your healthy cells and have basically stopped caring about the greater whole and care about themselves. Then they evolve at a micro level for their survival to fend off chemo, immune system, radiation etc. All it takes is one adapted/surviving cell to come back strong.
The sophisticated mechanisms for evasion exist because they have all the methods of evading your immune system that healthy multicellular organisms need to function and they multiply and increase their mutation rate to try new methods to survive and thrive.
I view cancer cells as single cells to understand their behavior with the adaptations of all the healthy cells returning to their “baser instincts”.

Definitely reduces the need for another dependency if that’s your thing and it fits your needs

For example:
A flu shot from years ago can protect against a flu from this year or in the future. So even if the flu vaccine isn’t effective in its current year, the immunity lasts for many years to those antigens. The strain of flu that’s currently dominant can fluctuate to newer or older variants. Controlling for this is even more confusing
A guess this year could help in future years

The last line hit hard. Need to remind myself of this sometimes
