There is one place that I know of that covers some of the ratios you may be wanting, and I agree that this is a valid concern. The only opposing argument I can come up with is that LRCX, EGLS, KLIC, KLAC, ASYT and most of the others are trading very near their '96 lows as we speak (or at least they have been within the last 2 weeks). But, it is still possible that AMAT won't follow them. The source I started to tell you about is Barron's in the Market Laboratory section. It has S&P 500 P/E Ratio, Earns Yld, Mkt to Book, and Book Value... in this weeks Barron's (dtd 22 Jun 98) it falls on Page MW101. Also, there has to be a number of computerized sources for this info too. Hopefully someone will come up with one. Lastly, thanks for the kind words. When the market acts like it's been acting lately, it can cause a person to think they're losing it.... And that's not good. When you come up with solutions for this, please let me know. -g- I guess the answer is to stick to my guns, but also constantly search for anything that I may be missing. If not missing anything, it could well be that the market is crazy (it's happened before). Btw, these are the numbers for the week. S&P500 Index 1100.65 P/E Ratio 27.84 Earns Yield % 3.59 Earns $ 39.54 Divs Yield % 1.45 Divs $ 15.96 Mkt to Book % 605.28 Book Value $ 181.84
