At trailing EPS=4.63 and almost identical forward EPS=4.66 (for total 2017 - read old posts for details) the stock is highly overvalued (the sector as well). Within just a year the P/E ratio has risen from ~26 to ~34, indicating unproportional much faster price rising over the earnings. While for main indices the P/E ratios stay almost the same within 2017-2016. For instance, for DJ Ind Avg P/E = 20.84-20.58 and for S&P 500 P/E = 25.02-25.58. Again, given Q3-report, the 'net sale' in Q4 will be much lower than that one reported in Q3 (read old posts for details & figures). Actually above the 120-level (see old posts) the stock is just a playground for mid-size specs (using trading strategies in eur-usd 'hedging accounts' and fx-dynamics).
As for the 'investment history', just take a look, for instance, at the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index. Compare its 'bubble values' (03-2000/08-2000) with current values (and don't forget the P/E ratios dynamics). Then just take a look at the index in just 3 months (11-2000).
As for 'aex', the index is still busy with the 'right shoulder' formation (read recent posts for details).
Good luck.
