Regardless of company comparisons and regardless of industry sector, high I and high R is not good. It does not matter if inventory is bananas or fish, tech stuff is no more valuable. Actually, most people have a good idea when bananas or fish will go bad, but with tech stuff things are more uncertain. Low cap productivity is undesirable. High I and high R put a company's earnings at HIGH RISK -- take a look at Apple Computer and you will know what I mean. I am not suggesting that APCC is not a good company by any means. I just want investors to understand that tech companies like APCC with low cap productivity measures are at high risk for earnings shortfalls and thus, their stock prices should reflect the higher risk with lower P/E's. Also, their Price-To-Sales Ratio is very high at 3.0+.

Thanks for your number-crunching !!!

By the way, do you have any I and R numbers for Triplite and any other competitors of APCC ???
