Too much information is right. And when it is conflicting it is very difficult to make decisions. After some research I now understand why the PE ratios are so different. According to the S&P snapshot on DLJ DELL is making money hand over fist and has a pe of 50 (yahoo says dell and gtw are 73) GTW is making a terrific comeback after losing 11 cents a share 2 quarters back. S&P Snapshot puts gtw's pe at 25. Shrug. Compaq was going great until last quarter where they earned 1 cent a share on an earnings dip from the previous quarter but still better than the quarter one year back. From this I have concluded that CPQ will be fine and looks like an excellent long term investment and I am going to be watching for a dip to get in. Dell also looks great, but it's a high flyer right now and that makes me nervous. Lastly Yahoo's method of figuring PE's sucks. bps
