Anyone other than me noticing some especially high valuations? The following numbers are the ratios of enterprise value to my modified trailing free cash flow.

SEBL 22
QCOM 22*
MERQ 29
EMC 31
BEAS 43
NTAP 57

*Before Qualcomm's earnings report became available, that ratio was close to 30. The details that will likely increase that ratio somewhat are not yet available until the 10K is published, but Qualcomm seems to have had an incredible year for creating free cash flow including almost total elimination of nearly $400 million in finance receivables.
