Re: Citrix and its valuation. I know less than nothing about PE ratios and appropriate valuations but the stock was right at $70 (and had doubled this year) without the benefit of a 'story', i.e. a shorthand way of describing why this company is doing something amazing and why anyone/investors should care. It seems to me that has changed dramatically over the past couple of weeks. The addition of Citrix to the S&P500 may be all the evidence some investors need to know that its successfully doing something fundamental to the industry they're in and for the economy at large. Also, its fast becoming what Iacobucci wanted it to be, 'the Cisco of ASP'. For whatever reason, people seem excited about ASPs in a way they never were about server based computing. I wonder if its on the verge of really taking off, becoming an 'internet' stock and one that is actually making a ton of money. And we're already past $80. Also, re: Microsoft, it sure seems like Citrix has been protected from MSFT because of the intense scrutiny. I guess I'm hoping for an extended negotiation between MSFT and Justice during which MSFT has an enormous interest in showing what a good partner it can be.
