< In the quote from Peter Lynch he repeats several times "if the earnings stayed constant" or something like that. But noone expects the earnings on AOL to stay constant. Do you??? Really?? >

I read that also, and interpreted the meaning to be that stocks
which exhibit quarter over quarter incremental increases in
revenue can be afforded higher PE's.

Of course a stock with static earnings wouldn't be a good investment
at a high PE.

Also, i think that PE is a terrible measure on which to base your
investment decisions. I think top line growth, EPS growth,
and margins are far more telling. Obviously if the company suddenly
begins to show a slowdown in earnings "The Street" will suddenly
and viciously cut its market cap.
