David Shine Market Recap January 30, 2012 - Video
Apple may be hitting new all-time highs and trading with a forward P/E of "just" 11.6, making it a value stock, but many other hot Internet and technology stocks don't look quite so cheap. Just the opposite. Many are trading at nosebleed levels.
Yet the justification has always been that you're paying for growth and that growth doesn't come cheaply. After all, investors must pay a premium to buy into the hottest technologies.
As the 2012 stock rally advances, however, many of these stocks have also seen big gains and that has pushed their P/E ratios even higher.
Take a look at the forward P/Es of some of the glamour companies and their expected growth rates:
1. Pandora (NYSE:P - News)
P/E of 1235
EPS growth: expected to lose a penny in fiscal 2012 and make a penny in fiscal 2013 for 172.4% growth
2. LinkedIn (:LNKD)
P/E of 356
EPS growth: 89.2%
3. Salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM - News)
P/E of 324
EPS growth: an actual decline of 73% in fiscal 2012
4. Zillow (NasdaqGS:Z - News)
P/E of 133
EPS growth: 264%
5. Groupon (NasdaqGS:GRPN - News)
P/E of 73
EPS Growth: 127%
Has irrational exuberance again gripped some segments of the technology sector?
Will investors get burned?

Are Tech Stocks Getting Bubblicious?
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire -02/15/12)- Chinese Internet stocks have been on the upswing of late, outperforming the S&P 500 by a sizeable margin over the last month. Over that period, TickerSpy's Chinese Internet Stocks Index (CHDOT) is up more than 9 percent -- helping Chinese shares traded in New York to a five-month high, Bloomberg reports. Five Star Equities examines investing opportunities in China's Internet Sector and provides Stock research on Youku, Inc. (NYSE: YOKU - News) and Sohu.com Inc. (NASDAQ: SOHU - News).

Chinese internet stocks listed in the U.S. often move in accordance with investor sentiment towards China's economy. According to a recent report from Barron's "Chinese Internet stocks are prominently listed on U.S. exchanges, and are among the most widely-held Chinese stocks." Fears of a hard economic landing in China pushed shares of internet firms towards 52-week lows in the early stages of 2012. However recent measures from China's government have restored some optimism regarding the direction of China's economy.
China's economy expanded by 9.2 percent in 2011 from a year earlier and 8.9 percent year-on-year in the fourth quarter, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). "There is not likely to be any dramatic decline in China's economy this year and a soft landing will be achieved," Pan Xiangdong, chief economist with China Galaxy Securities, said in an interview with Xinhua.

The number of those accessing the Internet grew 12.2 percent last year, said the China Internet Network Information Center. There were 356 million mobile Internet users in the country by the end of 2011, a year-on-year increase of 17.5 percent. Even still, the proportion of China's population who are Internet users, 40 percent, is low compared with that of developed Asian countries -- for example, the Internet analysis firm Miniwatts Marketing Group says that more than 70 percent of the Japan, South Korea and Singapore population are online.
