For what it’s worth, he didn’t actually say “profit to earnings ratio.” He may have indeed meant that, but he actually said, “profits and earnings ratios.”

Which is, through a tiny loophole, not actually wrong. But like I said, I suspect he was trying to address P-and-E ratios and screwed it up.

No, it is wrong. you can’t have a ratio of two things that are one and the same - it is pointless. He aimed at P/E RATIO, which someone no doubt gave him flash card tests on, and missed. It’s even worse that he said “and” rather than “to” - makes him even more clueless.
