When your P/E is greater than 100, people are expecting mad growth in the future. Growth slowing already? That's bad news for people looking at investing.

What would you call a P/E ratio over 9500? http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=CRM

Both the stock and the P/E ratio has been growing for years.

I'd call it an unsustainable-bust-waiting-to-happen.

The P/E ratio is growing because the share price is going up and they aren't making money. That's not a good thing.
