Fred, Thank you most kindly, Sir! Excellent source.. I was using data from the Yahoo research to get an alternative view of valuation for CYMI: biz.yahoo.com Briefly, I take the projected next years earnings (.94/share), and the projected 5-year annual growth rate (36+ percent per the site), and end up with earnings of $4.65/share five years out (from next year). Applying a PE of 60 (which I have no basis for except that I consider it "reasonable"), I end up with a projected price for CYMI of $262 six years out. As a final, useful (to me) piece of data, I take that future price and run a "Present Value Analysis" on it, to a current price of 26, and get an implied annual rate of return on investment of 47% per year; I consider 47% an adequate ROI for the kind of investing I do. Thanks again! for that info you passed on.. I suspect we will both be enjoying CYMI! <g> dlo PS.. I end up with similar figures for VTSS, though I recently sold and am hoping to get back in.
