Allen:

Getting your insight into PE ratios is an education. My general
perception of PE's is that they probably have more to do with
Chaos Theory than Fundamental Analysis. At any rate, I do think
that market perceptions of what's "hot" and what's "not hot" can
have an awesome, if not transitory effect on the long term valuation
of a company's stock. For the past year or so (up until about May) CSCC and ASND were seemingly invincible. I don't think I saw them drop at all over the course of a single week. Their recent earnings reports were not just very good, they were awesome! But the market for
tech stocks is nose-diving and now they're "not hot" anymore. At least for the time being. Their current multiples are obviously down
but it has less to do with the recent earnings than market perception. I do believe investors will reinvest in these issues because they're is nothing in our economy or in these companies that
warrants such a "correction" on their admittedly high valuations.

Speaking of high valuations, I see that SYSF is on your "favorite" list. There is a chart expert "Jim Roof" who has been advising SYSF
fans on the SI thread for SYSF that this stock is doing a "head-n-shoulders" thing. Not good. I feel charting is a bit like
fortune-telling, but you may want to check out Jim's postings. I remaing long on SYSF.
