I'm basing from the 2.87 earnings in their statement, not the diluted. That's what I normally see the P/E's computed from.

It's easy to be rational and compare stocks and performance like DELL and CPQ, but the stock market doesn't trade on rational. It doesn't matter which company is bigger or better or makes the better product. If you used those factors nobody would be buying DELL over CPQ, but the market says SHOW ME THE MONEY and DELL has shown plenty and says there's more to come. CPQ crippled it's stock price in the short term by making the Digital deal. Long term the stock is a 1st class winner but that means nothing now. I must admit, though, the runup in DELL is a a bit overdone. At this rate it could be 200 by the end of March! I'm sitting with a ton of CPQ and am willing to wait to cash in bigtime! Howie
