Sunfish: Bloomberg should have qualified that report to say that it only applied to stocks that had a measurable positive P/E. All those Nasdaq stocks for which the "E" is zero or negative have a P/E that is usually N/A = "Not applicable because it's infinite or negative". Palm (the stock) would be better off right now with a "loss expected for 2001" and it wouldn't appear on such P/E lists at all. A more meaningful tabulation would list all stocks by P/E from the highest positive to the lowest negative, with the zeros in the middle. PALM would be nowhere near #2 on such a list, probably near the middle. David T.
