<<...the stock cannot trade with a PE of 100 forever.>>

Jim, <imho> it's now a matter of "forward looking" earnings justifying an otherwise irrationally high P/E. A good example of this is QWST... which I'm quite happy to say I (Mathon what's his name?) -discovered and bought- at 42 btw (eh hem)... Price 73. P/E 1840. That's right 1-8-4-0!! Suffice it to say, everyone is betting on the future of this stock, 2 to 3 years hence. The better the story, the higher the P/E. And you're right, SGI will have one or two quarters to make good without too much downside...

<<...stock's nadir will probably hit just before the ad campaign. Anybody guess when that will be?>>

Adweek noted a mid-year debut.

adios,

Mathon ????
