Cary, I think you are basically saying - "PE's can move
around a lot and a specific number is affected by a lot of
factors" - if that was your point, I certainly agree with
that.

Since we are talking about INTC, lets take a look at growth,
estimates, and PE'S since February. First Call has just
released today the first update on earnings estimates since
INTC reported earnings and their outlook for the second half.

I arbitrarily picked 3 points - Feb 14th, July 3rd and
today, July 17th. For the nearly 5 months between the
first 2 points hardly any change - next years estimate
went from 0.82 to 0.81 and growth decreased by 1 percent
from 17 to 16. Today's report shows an increase in this
years earnings from 0.62 to 0.68(10 percent) and next years
earnings from 0.81 to 0.90(11 percent).

Note that growth rate was reduced by another percentage
point to 15 percent.
