The market is crazy. Just compare chkpf to axnt. The two have almost the same share price. This is the only common point. Chkpf makes twice as much money per share and has a dominant position in the market. Either axnt is way over-valued or chkpf is way-under valued because they are in similar business. Any one can make sense out of this? CHKPF 26 9/16 vs AXNT 26 3/8 Are you really suggesting that since these 2 companies have a similar share price, it represents the same value? This is really basic. A company's value is assigned by the number of shares times the share price. Checkpoint has 32,741,000 shares giving it a market value of about 875 million. Axent has 12,397,000 shares giving it a market value of about 315 million. That means Checkpoint is nearly 3 times the value of Axent at this price. If this makes no sense, ask yourself if these companies are valued higher or lower? Compaq Computer 28 1/2. Seagate 23 1/2. This is pretty basic stuff. Mistakes like that can cost you some good investment decisions. See the following links. 207.226.179.207 207.226.179.207 Regards, Mark Actually, you need to think about this statement. If you are concerned that CHKPF closed at and AXNT closed at
