Market valuation      5-Nov-07 11:54 am    
How can a company with sales increasing at only about 6%/yr be worth 22x forward earnings? There are a lot of companies growing by 10%/yr with PE ratios around 15-18. MTD was a screaming sell on the recent spike up to 114 and probably still now around 110. Why such high prices?
