This market is soooo confusing. FDRY's TTM revenues are $17M. But even using your (or the CEO's) figure of $40M, that gives FDRY a price to sales of 214.

Cisco's price to sales is 18.

Cisco's market cap is $220 billion vs. FNDY's market cap of $8.5 billion (I think FNDY has 55 million shares outstanding).

At first glance that may make FNDY look "cheap" with a market cap 1/25th of Cisco's. But FNDY's revenues are 1/300 th of Cisco's (assuming FNDY's revenues of $40 million, not the $17 million that is official; if you use FNDY's true TTM revenues, then they only have 1/700th the revenues of CISCO.)

I'm just flabbergasted at what people consider a good investment these days. I'm making money on these bizarre inet valuations just like everyone else, but I have to suspend all rational thought every time I purchase a share.

Kevin Re: FDRY. You may be right. Tonight on CNBC they hyped this as the best IPO because of the profitablity. It's "steak not sizzle" to paraphrase one commentator. I just hate chasing a hot IPO at its high. Many more to get in the future anyway. Jack
