I'm losing patience with this one! I've already cut my position in half and am considering selling the rest. The following illustrates my concern...

Growth Rates (%).....Company...Industry..S&P 500
Sales (1-Yr)...................12.00......35.10....6.30
Sales (5-Yr Avg)............16.27......15.98....6.07

Price Ratios..................Company..Industry..S&P 500
Price/Sales Ratio...............5.30.......2.23.....1.54
Price/Book Value.............7.62......4.82.....3.95
Price/Cash Flow Ratio-198.00.....10.40....13.10

Profit Margins(%)...............Company..Industry..S&P 500
Gross Margin.........................58.0.....59.6.....45.2
Pre-Tax Margin.......................-5.4.....12.6.....10.7
Net Profit Margin....................-5.4......7.6......6.9
Gross Margin (5-Yr Avg)........51.8.....56.0.....44.9
Pre-Tax Margin (5-Yr Avg)...-17.9.....11.8......8.7
Net Profit Margin (5-Yr Avg)-17.9......7.4......5.6

...and these are just some of the numbers that are "calculable"! At some point a company has to deliver on the promise, and in the fast paced technology sector it's easy to overlook an underperformer!! Could this be the reason for our lack of coverage?!
