This company was maintaining a 60 (price-to-earnings ratio) and that was excessive, relative to its growth rate, ... Now, it's more reasonably priced. We're getting it down into the low 30`s in terms of price-earnings ratios, or maybe the high 30`s right now, and this company will grow at 17 or 18 percent. So Pfizer looks good, at this point.

These companies are actually growing, ... The whole group is growing somewhere between 10 and 13 percent relative earnings growth and the price-earnings ratios are about 13 to 14 times. It's one of the few groups out there that are actually selling at their growth rate in terms of price-earnings ratio. And, right now, it's strange -- people don't like the group.

Airline stocks, especially price-earnings ratios, are extremely sensitive to interest rate changes, particularly with current long-term rates hovering around 6 percent.

At a recent price of $23.60, Hutchison is selling at a hefty multiple of 16 times cash flow. Its price-to-earnings ratio is meaningless since it is currently posting a loss on the bottom line.

If you wait for the ratios to make sense, you'll miss the opportunity.
