Fuzfo, >>increase = $.64/1.29 = 49% earnings growth Y/Y<< I'm not sure if the above is right. $1.29(99 earnings) - .72(98 earnings) = .57 .57/.72 == 79% increase from '98 to '99 earnings. Do the same for 2000, assuming that '00 earnings are 1.95 (First Calls) and you get a 51% growth rate. Still, COMS "expected" growth rate when the company is normal is around 25%/year. Adjusted for super low interest rates makes 35 a reasonable P/E estimate (providing the company is executing) Then, where we will get some good rises is when COMS proves that it's getting stronger and the earnings estimates will change. That $1.95 estimate for '00 should be $3 - 4 easy if COMS is doing it's job. It's like Moons said, last summer we was all expecting $2.00 earnings for this year. But hey, don't get all worked up counting your money yet. COMS has to execute. If not, it will be time to look for other stocks. joe
