Let's play "what if" ... Last year's earnings were $0.49. Assuming a modest 25% growth (certainly doable for a Y2K company), this year's should be in the neighborhood of $0.61. Apply a PE of 30 to that, and you get 18 3/8. So, "what if" one buys a bunch of shares at the current level of 15 (rounded up). It would seem one could make over 3 bucks a share short term. That's 20 percent. Not bad. Now, "what if" that 25% growth turns out to be 50%? The earnings would be $0.73. With a PE of 30, that makes the stock price $22. Hmmmm ... TED (Long, strong, and very very hopeful)
