>> the market forgets bad news very quickly. <<

oh? And the corollary being, it remembers good news for a long time? That is what you would like, unfortunately not everybody cooperates.

>> its a crazy business. <<

That, I'll agree with.

>> The bottom line is its a great buy at this price. <<

That is a perception based on previous price history, projection of a future price history that is above these levels. These higher price forecasts are,.in turn, premised on future performance equal to the past.
If the price rises it will be a great buy at these prices. But that has no useful content. It is a risky stock at any price but it may be able to hold 40 pretty good as it has been shown to do. Any -real- bad news could take it well below that, however, at which point I would call it a good speculative buy. Otherwise it is a networker, no more nor less, with a shorter track record to judge on. Thus a slightly discounted PE to its peers (3com, Cisco) is justified in the absence of better info.
