Hi Jim,

Thanks for the earnings estimate.

I agree with you guys that there is much more than earnings to consider when valuing an investment. Still, I need a price target in order to know what to do with this one: buy sell, or hold.

There are several approaches to calculating value, and one that comes to mind is to use a P/E equal to the long term growth estimate. I've seen a 50% estimate, though they are obviously growing much faster than that now. Using a P/E of 50 on earnings of $0.88 gives a price target of $44. If we compare the 2001 estimate of $0.88 to the 2000 estimate of $0.49, we see there is expected earnings growth of 80%. If we take this as a P/E of 80 on earnings of $0.88, the price target is $70.

Anybody else have a price target, using their preferred method, they'd like to share? I'd like to see if we can come to a consensus. At least we can get an arithmetic average of our estimates.

Thanks, and best of luck.
