From WSRN QuickSource Report link on SI profile page. You are taking my comments the wrong way Andrew: You are right - the instantaneous PE is below 20. But, can the company keep it up and with a book of less than $4, can the company keep from freefalling if the PC market falls apart for a little while or a long while? If earnings are going to stay solid for 3 or 4 years and the company generates and saves capital to weather any storm then I personally am comfortable with buying shares. But, if 3DFX is a one-product-wonder whose earnings will cycle with the age of their technology, then their shares are a riskier investment than they appear on the surface.
