>>valuation on coms alone,, since prior to PALM it was 20 - 23 that would be the valuation perceived IMO although I feel 12 - 15 is more reasonable<< A valuation of $12-$15 for COMS sans Palm is ABSURD. On this assumption, take out cash and investments and you're left with a value of what, say $3/share ($1 billion mkt cap) for COMS' ongoing business? A business with sales of $5 billion and close to half a billion in earnings? Are you really saying COMS deserves a PE of 2???? Andre
