GM,

OTOH, FY00 begins in only 11 1/2 months. It's all in how you see it<GGG>

BTW, if you think it is overvalued now wait until next year at this time.

Re: <<But by simple valuation principles AMAT is overpriced.>>

The trouble is, simple valuation principles don't work on a growth industry as deeply cyclical as this one. A better way would be to average the peaks and valleys and draw a curve connecting those averaged points. Using this averaged earnings curve might allow one to calculate a rational p/e relative to the market.
