Frank, Re: "To All: Can anyone recall the highest p/e intc had during its great run in 1996-97? Not that trailing p/e's mean anything when they're in a high growth phase, but I wanted to see the multiple the market was willing to allow." You could see that on a chart of INTC on "Big Charts", one of the "Quick Charts" web sites. Unfortunately, I can't get to it right now, which is often the case with that site. I'll keep trying when I have time. On the right hand side of the "normal" charts on Big Charts there are three buttons. If you click on the top one, I believe, it plots the P/E ratio under the stock price over time ranges up to ten years or so. Man, a picture is worth a thousand words. Anyone else get to Big Charts? As I recall, current trailing P/E is in record territory. P/E based on 1999 earnings (the new mid 4 dollar ones) may not be in record territory. Go 9ers! Tony

Uncle Frank, Re: "Can anyone recall the highest p/e intc had during its great run in 1996-97?" The site I mentioned, Big Charts, came back to life. Change the timeframe to three years when you get there, or whatever you want. Looks like we're in uncharted waters here WRT INTC P/E, including the big runup that ended 1/97. Big Charts is doing trailing P/E, however. Today's P/E using next year's "consensus" earnings is about 29. bigcharts.com More good news: Garrison Hearst will play on Saturday. Tony
