Kevin,

Any value investors out there sniffing around at SAP?

The stock is still trading trading at about twice its expected growth rate. Using traditional value investors' models, I don't think SAP will ever meet the value criteria. That's typical of gorillas.

I have cash set aside to buy SAP, but I'm not yet ready. Most of the ERP vendors are having tough times lately. I realize that the market has already dropped SAP's stock 50% since the debut on the NYSE, but I think there's a good chance the market will get downright dismal about ERP vendors. I hope to see the PE multiple at 1.5 times growth, or lower. It may or may not happen, but that's my entry strategy until I see indicators telling me the multiple will never get that low.
