Gary, Where can I find historical P/E ratios which use the EPS figure which is reported quarterly before deducting the R&D writeoffs i.e. the number that is most used when reporting vs analyst estimates. This is $1.75 for the latest 4 quarters giving a present P/E ratio of 55 which is high but not ridiculous given CSCO's accelerating growth rate. Assuming a 35% rate this would drop to 41 in 99. Yahoo on the detailed quote page and the following use the net figure ($1.26) which gives a high but misleading 73 P/E: bigcharts.com Dave E.
