I'm not so sure PE is the best measure of value for INTL. They had a bad quarter which helped to push PE up, and their profit margin is only 4.5% - lots of room to grow. What I do like is that the Price to Sales ratio is only 1.44 - that's particularly reasonable in a market like this. Plus, their current ratio is over 4 and they have over $3 of cash on hand per share which justifies a higher price/sales and means they shouldn't need to seek financing. For me, it's sales growth I'm most concerned about. I'm not saying the market is "rationale" and / or will look beyond current earnings, and the share price has risen far and fast, but this company seems to be positioned pretty well financially and quite well w.r.t. products and installed base.
