One of the things that the CANSLIM method looks for is an =
"overextension" of the PE from the time of breakout to a "possible" top. =
The rule of thumb is to take the trailing PE at the time of breakout and =
add 121%. Then, using estimated EPS, calculate a target price based on =
this target PE. (important point to remember is that the target PE is =
based on *forward* growth/EPS estimates and is therefore a forward PE)

These numbers are from an IBD example:
  Example: Current trailing PE =3D 34. Forward EPS $1.10/share.=20
  Target PE =3D 34 + (121% * 34) =3D 75.14
  Target Price/$1.10 =3D 75.14
  Target Price =3D $82.65

  The interesting thing is that if the estimated earnings are raised, =
the target forward PE  would remain the same, but the target *price* =
would move up. (or vice versa, of course) IBD numbers say that the =
average PE of a growth stock at breakout is near 50. That means =
"overextension" target PEs would be, on average, anything > 110.5. =
(remember, not trailing PEs, forward PEs)

  One strategy would be to look for trailing PEs <=3D50ish and compare =
to forward PEs to see if the growth stocks are in range.

  Nothing to be sorry about!  I'm here to learn from people's opinions.

  My take on 'value and/or growth' (from Ann's question).  I always =
thought
  of growth as growth in earnings, sales, etc.  So the trick is to find =
low
  P/E
  stocks with fast growth, which is the same as the low PEG ratio =
someone
  else mentioned.  WON worry about growth and not P/E - not sure I ever
  bought that concept completely, especially now.
