Sir James with all due respect one can not value a company based on their PE ratio alone as this would be too simplistic and naive,don't you think? I think so,I even go a step further and say I know so.

These number do not look right to me.

Those figures are pretty accurate. I checked the data on Super Charts and found the following PE Ratios for January 5, 1995. CPQ 12.23 DELL 17.94 (but soon went down to 12.60) INTC 12.24 IBM 14.74 MU 9.25 MSFT 28.26 NSM 9.38 AMAT 16.12 HWP 16.06 (soon down to 14.28) SEG 7.74 TXN 10.04 WDC 5.53 (had been 6.85 just days earlier) But 1994 was the end of a very bad year for tech stocks and even the S&P 500 was down most of the year. Just remember, mid-term years have proven good times to buy in the recent past. 1998 looks to be another one of those opportunities. 1995 was almost straight up.
