Average PE of the top 10 of FSESX is probably at the site I provided. I am not sure, but understand that the average PE of the drilling stocks is quite low for an industry which is growing so rapidly. Somewhere around 17?

For the thread from the Fidelity website, some info on FSESX. Also the Beta of the fund, a measure of volatility and risk is .70, a figure which shows less volatility and risk than the overall market (rated at 1.0). If the market does well, I would expect the relatively low PEs of these stocks to expand as their earnings continue to grow rapidly over the next couple of years.
