>>Please note: I am not justifying the price that SUNW reached earlier this year, that was too high by any measure unless you believed 60% earnings growth was sustainable. I am analyzing the situation as it stands today and making my own decisions.

u r contradicting yourself. you are essentially saying the p/e WAS important then, but now its NOT, yet suncom retained earnings then as it does now. why was it IMPORTANT to u then? because it was TOO HIGH.

Here's your statement:

>> a P/E ratio is important only to companies which distribute earnings as dividends. Companies which reinvest and grow like crazy can have astronomical P/E ratios, and are still not overvalued in any sense. <<

<But what if they are growing >

But the point was you're crowing that it's priced as a good investment assuming NO growth... this is clearly mistaken.
