LET US ASK THIS QUESTION INSTEAD: IF A YEAR FROM NOW DELL CONTINUES TO GROW AT A 50% CLIP AND AT THAT POINT IN TIME HAS A 81X TRAILING P/E, THEN WHAT WILL THE STOCK PRICE BE? $104 , SO WAS A TRAILING P/E OF 81 EXPENSIVE? NO. I THINK PEOPLE GET CONFUSED ABOUT P/E RATIOS. P/E RATIOS TELL YOU ABOUT THE RISK, NOT THE VALUATION. CHANGE IN P/E RATIOS TELL YOU ABOUT THE VALUATION AND STOCK GROWTH. GO DELL!! CHEERS
