Paul: Stocks move on anticipated earnings growth - not because of the p/e ratio. Stocks with rel. hi p/e's are "anticipating " higher growth than others. Some stocks, without earnings at all - in the present - may be great buys. A low p/e doesn't always mean the stock is undervalued - "someone" may know that big trouble lies ahead in the not too distant future (and so - sells off the stock). Therefore, the (in this case - low) p/e is the result of price movement. O.K.? Regards and good pickin' Don
