Ol' YouLookMarvey has come pretty close so far in his post (#26) of losing half the value. My first buy was ~26 so I'm almost there. Let's say that Q/Q earnings growth is 8% (well within guidance). That gives us 32% yearly rate. So taking a trailing PE of 14, that gives PE/growth of ~1/2. Not too bad. Of course you can't extrapolate too far in the future with these numbers so if the cycle is peaking it'll get less compelling in a year or so <g>. JF
