Earnings per share and share prices arenât the whole storyâparticularly in the medium and long term. It's natural for companies and their investors to be happy, even complacent, when their earnings per share (EPS) and share prices rise.
What is a lemur and what does the word âlemurâ mean? A lemur is a type of prosimian primate that is wild only on the island of Madagascar. Lemur in Latin means âghostâ and many of the Malagasy people believe lemurs are similar to spirits or ghosts because of their haunting stare and night activity.
Exact classification of some types of lemurs is a subject of debate, but it's generally accepted that there are five families of lemurs with about a dozen genera and just over 30 living species. Some species of lemurs are now extinct, including one ancient lemur said to be as large as a gorilla â over 400 pounds.
