Helping push for the free-trade area are America's high-tech firms. "Five hundred million people live south of Texas, but only 100 million of them have phones in their homes, and only 17 million have personal computers," says Michael Maibach, a vice president at chipmaker Intel. One reason: tariffs on computer and telecom equipment range as high as 30% in some Latin American countries. Telephone regulations also keep Internet fees high.

...profitable market leaders, a PEG up to 1.5 is fair, and by that standard a bunch of big names--Cisco, Oracle, Nokia, Verizon, Intel--are in the zone, even based on this year's depressed earnings. The risk in looking at things this way is that the earnings picture can sour further, and even long-term growth rates erode.

When I was a kid and we went through a boom, people put their money in cocaine and models and German cars.

There are 5,000 to 8,000 professional programmers in Russia, generating revenues of $60 million to $100 million a year - a number that is growing 40% to 60% annually.

...this year's earnings than they did even before the slide. So they still look expensive. But that's because near term earnings assumptions are falling faster than the stock price. If the earnings slump is temporary, as it most likely will be for blue-chip firms like Intel and Microsoft, the near term outlook should be ignored if you are a long-term investor. A better metric is the expected five-year growth rate...
