Of course you need to factor the consensus growth rate going forward. INTC isn't going to grow as fast as an ELNT or even an AVT (predicted to grow at 53% earnings by the CEO yesterday) or hordes of others, so consensus PE for both the upcoming quarters in FY2000 and 2001 must be looked at. Fact is some stocks are expected to grow dramatically. I take a conservative estimate of FY2001 in case they miss by 10% or so, and even much more when the growth in earnings is expected to be dramatic. That said, companies with PE's over 100 (unless expected to drop significantly in the next quarter or two are questionable investments, but still possible trades, for a while) Zack's is a good source.
