But I personally don't believe growth will never return. I think we are just in a down cycle that will play itself out. " If we allow these cockroach deceptive manipulative analysts to influence our every sell we would have nothing and they would have all those commissions. Every day there is always a new spin or reason to buy or sell. I would not be surprised if they read our posts and plan their strategy for screwing the public day after day. Frank

You think growth will return. But when? And absent inventory assisted middle line sleight of hand, to what degree? Does that justify paying $20 for a $5 bill that looks like it will grow into a $10 bill? My answers are: yes, growth will return. In about 6 months. Measuring growth from something smaller. Adjusted for buffering effects of current charges, I suspect growth in cash flows will be 15-20% when things take off again. And this is not a certainty. So, no, I would prefer to pay closer to $10 than $20 for this $5 bill. Depending on how many other people think like me, there is a nonzero chance I could buy it closer to $5 than $10. Of course, there is a chance that I will never be able to buy it for less than $17... but I'm willing to take that risk. Plenty more fish in the sea. John.
