It's beginning to look as if all the regulars on this thread have abandoned the premises. It's such a loss as this was the best thread on SI. Scott

I do not know ISSI. However, these kind of stocks are now breaking support levels and still have ridiculous trailing P/E's (37 in this case). The semiconductor industry is a growth cyclical industry. If it was copper you would see trailing P/E's on peak earnings of 6-8. Add some secular growth to the mix and P/E's should be 5 times as high? Not in my opinion. My SEMI, which I have mentioned on this thread, the 5th largest semiconductor distributor, is growing both sales and earnings as fast as any semiconductor manufacturer. After the Q3 report, it will have a trailing P/E of 9 at $20, which is a sane valuation.
