Diamond, Based on next year's estimates, which is the basis for valuation on these guys, CSCO has a PE of 70.5 or so based on consensus estimates and 68.4 on the high estimate of .95/share. LU has a PE of 52 based on consensus estimates and 49 on the high estimate. Earnings consensus growth for CSCO is estimated at 24.17% and LU is 22.06%. I also believe, given guidance history, that LU has a greater upside potential for beating estimates quarter to quarter. All of this leads me to believe that CSCO has an astronomical PE. Brian
