ARTI P/BCS=2/3

What about current assets/current liabilities?

Also a high cash position may be countered by debt or contingent liabilities

comminets?

Klaus, if I may contribute to the theme of your post......

I am not too thrilled about LTXX or SVGI, but I think that KLIC is a winner.
If I use your simple calculation I also find that LRCX and ASYT are MTSN are very close to 1, while EGLS, COHU, and SFAM are significantly below 1.

Of these I would choose COHU and SFAM and MTSN as the having the best prospects based on current price.

Also your calculation will make the "back-end" companies within the sector look cheaper, since they typically sell for less of a price to sales (these would include EGLS, COHU, KLIC)

Good luck! Eric.
