Jules, Re. rationality of IBM vs INTC:

Data from SI profile on each stock. Note PEs and Price to Sales ratios. Looks fairly rational to me.

Based on INTC closing price of $57 on 04/14/99
Percentage price change year-to-date -3.8%
Percentage change, last 52 Weeks 52.3%
Price/Earnings Ratio (last 4 quarters) 32.7
Price/Sales Ratio (last 4 quarters) 7.5
Market Capitalization $198.36 billion

Based on IBM closing price of $179.375 on 04/14/99
Percentage price change year-to-date -2.7%
Percentage change, last 52 Weeks 63.4%
Price/Earnings Ratio (last 4 quarters) 27.0
Price/Sales Ratio (last 4 quarters) 2.1
Market Capitalization $170.41 billion

Jules,

Me thinks you are forgetting how IBM got creamed down to the 160s in January when analysts didn't like the revenue numbers, exactly what happened to Intel. IBM came back (albeit slightly). Intel will too.
