Steve, down days like this always seem to bring out the gloomiest of the gloomsters and doomsters. Where were these predictions on the up days? I dunno.

NXLK is selling for 50 times annual sales and losses per share have nearly doubled over last year with EPS at -7.24. They also have tons of debt. How can one possibly value this company at $5 billion? Can this company ever dig itself out of this financial black hole? Perhaps $30 pre-split was being generous but I picked that level because that's where this rally started in earnest. Take a look at analysts' earnings projections indicating rapidly mounting losses for years to come. Will this company ever make a profit when analysts are predicting a mere 20% annual earnings growth rate? earnings.nasdaq-amex.com I look forward to hearing a rational justification for NXLK's exorbitant price. (I don't know where Market Guide and Yahoo get their numbers but they do not agree with NXLK SEC filings.)
