Yes, I was refering to the "label" for it, though. I knew I should have
stressed the missing "d" but didn't. Sorry.

OK, thanks for the simple explanations. My basic investor's course did not
include "nominal or par value" in the new issue coverage. Harumph! Basic

using the EAT gadget to input that figure. It works out closely for the P/E,
unless there are lots of extra deductions.
