Look at the P/E of some of the old economy stocks:
1. Washington Post P/E=43.
2. Berkshire Hathaway BRK/A P/E=46
3. Disney DIS P/E=51.

P/E by itself cannot give you a measure of share price. Other indicators: PEG, P/S, cash flow, debt/equity, current ratio, etc.

I think that most technology stocks are way oversold, including TXN.
TXN has a P/E of 18, P/S of 5, $4 billion in cash, a current ration of 3 (which is excellent), a market cap that is far below its pears, and a technology that cannot be easily duplicated. IMO TXN can easily go to $100 and still be reasonably priced. Benjamin Graham said something to the effect that one should buy when the market is in a depressive manic mood and sell when Mr.Market becomes euphoric. Mr.Market is in a really depressive manic mood. So IMO it is time to buy.
