"Perhaps for fun you and I should swap places for a month and argue the cause of the other. It could be most enlightening to the thread." Good suggestion, John! And the people who would learn the most would be the two people doing it..... I have found that when I embrace what I have previously derided (in another's point of view), I discover what I am suppressing in my own experience. Namaste! Jim

re: And there is ample factual evidence to suggest that this is indeed the case. The current ratios of price to earnings, cost to economic benefit, risk to reward and so on are FACTS. Like the Bid and Ask, they are more tactile and measurable and certain than any projected steady 74% per year increase in market for Routers or steady 20% per year steady growth in market for switches.> You appear to be a little loose with the concept of FACTS. Please provide your factual risk, reward, economic benefit and so on. Those are all based on your or others assumptions or past data, which is not indicative of future performance. As far as pe, if you aren't a "value" investor, it's a pretty worthless indicator. knc
