The price earnings multiple for this company is unreasonably high. I checked a few minutes ago and at a share price of 115 the p/e for JDS was 112.94.

I don't pay much attention to PEs. The PE is based on past growth. Imagine 2 companies, both with a PE of 100. One is expected to grow at a rate of 10% a year and the other is expected to grow at 50% a year. The PE doesn't tell you which is the better investment. Look at QCOM. The PE is now 384, but IMHO it doesn't mean a whole lot. I look at the PEG (PE over the growth rate). Just my 2¢.
