Dan/P.E
I dont believe that I stated that there was something wrong with the Company. The discussion was centered on
a:Utilisation of Cash Flow to generate & mantain growth.
b:P/E's ( P/E's both trailing & high) vis a vis growth rates.

There are many Companies with low P/E's. Autos & Utilities probably
lead the pack. They have their own patterns regards trading, cash flow utilisation, Dividends and P/E ranges etc which distinguish them. I believe that their P/E's both trailing and high are lower than the market equivalents only because of their poor sustainable growth rates. Others may attribute different reasons but that will not change the P/E valuations.
