Greg: Janus didn't "just buy" their 5% PALM stake - they got it the same way the smart people here did, by buying into COMS between 3/31/00 and 6/30/00. Check out the institutional ownership of COMS, I was watching the 13f reports on COMS each quarter to see who was buying, and Janus was one of the major COMS buyers in that time period. A bunch of other institutions did the same thing. David T.

...and all of these people were SUCKERS taken for a ride by wall street. If your point is that the stock was worth $165 that day, why did it not stay there for more than a few minutes (10's or minutes?). Why did it fall all the way to the higher teens. I could make the point that a few months ago people were not willing to pay more than the high teens for it. The question still remains. ALL stocks MUST be "valued" at some price at a particular time. Else there is no stock market (at least a liquid one). If you claim that a P/S of 19 is a good one, I'll ask why? If there is no "logical" valuation for that then I'll ask what is wrong with a P/S of 25, 30,25,40 etc. Don't depend on what the "funds" are doing. Do your own research. These funds can dump before you can say "whatDuh!". TG P.S. I am long PALM and will be for a time to come, but I don't fool myself into thinking that the shares are "cheap". A market downturn and these shares at half the current price would still be too expensive.
