I agree it would be nice if cohr were not succumbing with the
rest of the market now but your questions about pe and psr were
very good ones. As I look at my last SSG on cohr I see that I
used 11 as a predicted low PE. Looking back at the period 1989
using value lines commentary, i see that the pe in 89 went as
low as 11.01 and PSR approached 1.0. Accordingly, I am not
so dismayed as I might be concerning the near term.

G IS a perfect example, and, as diversified in its field as COHR
might be, it is, of course, not so strong as G. However, what
i am trying to do is to buy fairly easy doubles in 5 years. I
believed (and still believe) that COHR could deliver that when
I bought my shares at 43-48. I REALLY believe that now. In
fact, i feel a little better now that i checked the PSR and
PE as you suggested.

But, you are sure right. It would be great if we weren't falling
right now.
