This is the bottom

2 pm call guided analysts to $1.35 eps in 2000. They also indicated that their internal projections were higher and felt confident in their ability to hit 2000 numbers. And, they took 99 Q4 up to .37, from .32.

I think a P/E of 6.8 on 2000 earnings estimates is close enough to bottom.

If you have some money stashed away, find it and buy.

Fear and panic have produced a nice buy here.

I agree

I listened to the 2:00 PM call and heard no bad news. This is by its nature a risky business, but PPDI is ahead of the pack. I will agree that the CEO and CFO don't come off as the most personable charismatic men in the world, but I would rather hear the truth couched in cautious terms than the fancy footwork we sometimes get. Don't forget that the confidentiality requirements in this sort of research are extremely high and to say too much is to risk major repercussions from drug companies.

Forget the foolish posts to this board and keep your eyes on what matters. Steady growth is projected through 2000 with EPS at mid $1.30's. Buy and hold.
