If I have this right, NASDAQ uses two methods of calculating the PE for the
NASDAQ; the first excludes companies with negative earnings and the second
excludes companies with negative earnings and companies with minimal
earnings. Sounds like more fluff to me. They might try dividing the NASDAQ
index by total earnings for all companies.
