Some future earnings numbers to think about. The numbers below were
derived from Zacks stock report dated 10/18. All earning numbers
were means. Please note the different year ending quarter - so can't
really compare apple to apple across the board. Also the recent cuts
in estimates for almost everybody is not likely reflected here.

Yr Ending 10/23 closing price PE Over/Under est.
========= =================== == ===============
QNTM (3/98) $2.99 37 1/2 12.5 probably right
WDC (6/98) $3.40 35 1/8 10.3 slightly over
SEG (6/98) $2.88 30 3/4 10.7 way over
RDRT (9/98) $3.16 20 6.3 slightly over
KMAG (12/98)$1.21 18 3/4 15.5 slightly over
APM (9/98) $4.36 27 1/2 6.3 over
HMTT (3/98) $1.65 19 11.5 over

probably right - no discount
slightly over - discount 10%
way over - discount 30%
over - discount 20%


IMHO, QNTM is #1, followed by RDRT, and WDC, KMAG, and APM taking
third places in the longer term (1 year) scheme of thing.
