<so actual earnings are about 1/4 of reported earnings> I think you meant one fourth less, and I don't think that is correct either--my understanding is that the companies that dilute earnings the most, Dell for example, only do it to the tune of about ten percent, and earnings reported now are the diluted type anyway, depending on where you look. Anyway, with recent declarations from the company saying that there will be NO negative effect from Asia on this quarters earnings, and with another Analyst raising her target on the stock price, I'm throwing in the towel. The price may very well drop a bit back toward a more reasonable valuation, but it will probably do it on a day where many stocks tank faster--and those are the ones to put. How about some of the Internet hypes? Excite maybe.
