CPQ pe is 63 on trailing 12 mo. earnings. Last month Compaq lowered guidance for earnings for last quarter from 21 cents to 13 cents. They only made 12 cents. Today they lowered the already lowered 17 cents earnings estimate for this quarter from 17 cents to 5 cents because of inventory problems and a price war with Dell that Compaq can't win. Earnings aren't frosting on the cake. Earnings are the cake! Lots of defunct and dying dot-coms had sales. As for revenues, Compaq says second quarter revenue will be 20% below first quarter revenue. Did you miss that fact, or did you just patch it up with the missing frosting?
