Roger, >Fitzgerald is likely tying to slow the train down so he can catch it..< Right. Beyond that, though, should we use P/S for valuation? [whether it's useful for timing selling or not]. If P/S is the right metric, then the devil is in the details. What sales number to use? Forward projection? What day's stock price to use? Date the fiscal year ends? As you know the highest AMAT sales were in 2000 [ending Oct 2000, I think quicken.com]. By the time those sales figures were reported, stock price had already dropped significantly from its peak.
