To any who is interested: On about April 24th I decided to get into the internals of the MSH high-tech 35 index. I wrote down the ttm PE of each stock, using the number given by Yahoo Finance site. It was interesting. Here is what was revealed:

- Of all 35 stocks in the index, the mean avg was a p/e of 102.3.

- Yahoo Finance had three stocks with no ttm (trailing twelve month) earnings: BAY, NSCP, and SEG.

- three stocks had minimal earnings, resulting in P/Es of the following:
AOL - pe of 573
INTU - pe of 259
YHOO - pe of 1,229

- I subtracted these the three highest pe stocks then, leaving 32 high-tech companies in wide-ranging endeavors; the creme of the crop so to speak, and recalculated the pe. I included in the 32 cos. those three that had no earnings and no pe. The mean pe came out to 47.5, for what it's worth.

Note: AOL has since reported the latest quarter's earnings, possibly other cos. have reported since Apr. 24th also.
