Tom, YHOO PE is high as they only consider earnings from operations. And while many folks will agree that this should be the measure it is not an accurate picture of overall corporate earnings. In fact CSCO is trading at <100 trailing PE and around 60 forward PE... give or take. Regarding Sales... CSCO has projected 50%-60% increase yoy for 2001 which would put CSCO at around $30B or about 15 times 2001 revenues. While these numbers may seem high look at the growth rates and this companies market position. Then look at smaller companies with similar growth rates and look at those multiples. Remember this is a growth play. Too many folk try to apply value investing principles here. OG
