re: <<historical PE's are in the 50's. >> Last night I looked at this for csco, wcom, dell and msft... ...guess what? They are all above historical averages (5year). Then I looked at a couple of small caps and they were also above their averages. to sum up. multiples in general have went up. msft can't be singled out in any meaningful way on this. ANYONE who has taken msft's guidance serious over the years has played the part of the fool. Anyone betting on this is is betting against a major trend. Some day this bet will inevitably pay off..., but now? With office2000 just ramping up and win2k on deck? I say nay..., -K ps. considering msft's current pe of 78 and the fact it just turned in 62% yr2yr earnings growth that's not so overvalued. The question is do you believe your own eyes or the words of a guy that wants very much to avoid law suits? (ie: Maffei) pps. my source of data is zacks
