<<<I have always wanted to buy these great companies at lower prices, haven't you? >>> Nope, not any more. Main reason, P/E's too high. Investors getting more short sighted each day -postphoning the tech 'comeback' another 3 to 6 months killed us. Csco P/E still 69, at most should be 35, considering the new uncertainties . Their buying many companies can make room for creative accounting(G) Here are some P/E's from 5 ,6,10,13 ,20 plus Csco. Phg looks interesting, pays $1.50 dividend. Stays lean and mean by selling divisions, but has not performed as well as hoped. finance.yahoo.com I hate pain and suffering > Glw is a pain , the 4-letter techs are causing much suffering. Those great safari hunts on the plains are best forgotten. Herding the giant Qaulcoms, galloping after the elusive Judsues, shooting the stargazing Dells.
