"SUNW grew their earnings 150% higher than the S&P500..." And for that simple reason SUN's PE is about 1.5 times that of average S&P 500. IMO, the earnings and rev growth is very good. They could have come in with higher EPS given the rev nos., but probably booked higher expenses this qtr. We should be in a trading range (high 60s low 70s) if the market stabilizes. In any case I don't see much downside from these levels. Any word on the CC. Regards Alok
