If you look at Oracle's current massive size, it isn't hard to extrapolate backwards to see that the growth rates must have been massive during the 80s.

EXLN has a good chance to return to its 40% average yearly growth. 1.4^20 = 837, i.e. two decades of 40% result in a increase of more than 800 times. 1991 Object Design had $4M, by 2011 that would make $3.2 billion, about 1/3 of ORCL's current size.

Maybe some people find the gross margin useful, but according to my understanding of security valuation, it is quite irrelevant.

Then why did you talk favorably about WEBM (#reply-13673406 )?

In regard to margins, the only things I am interested in are the free cashflow or earnings that are generated net of everything.

In my model EXLN will have a 12% net margin on sales of $122 million in 2002.
