That number is wonky from today's earnings report.

According to GAAP rules, CRM's EPS was negative, so their P/E is undefined.

Probably not the place for this, but I wouldn't touch CRM with a ten-foot pole. Read through the earnings report and look at all the fancy, non-GAAP accounting tricks they use, like booking deferred revenue. Remember when Zynga played those games? Pretty shady, in my opinion.

But, I'm no expert.
