BB, OK. See if I get this right. You are saying that if they break even that fair value is around $20.00 per share (and about $21 if they make less than a dollar next year) from which you get your initial buy price of $22. Question 1: What about the 1.8 Billion in liabilities? Even if cash flow is neutral doesn't this affect enterprise value? Question 2: How good are the assets? Is a lot of this 3.6 B inventory? That has decreasing value over time. Question 3: If they only make 2.65 B in revenue next year (2.4B + ~.70/s) then shouldn't they get more of a haircut on general principal? Excuse me if my questions show gross ignorance or if I misunderstood your post. You actually got me thinking about this instead of blindly following PE or saying that AMAT is a Gorilla therefore it must be a good investment. Thanks, Dave
