. Suppose SEBL makes $2 a share in 2006. At 50 times earnings that would be a price of 100, a tripling from here. Not too bad! That assumes a growth rate of 30%, markedly slower than in the past 5 years.

estimating 30% growth it'll take Siebel till 2005 to make 2 dollars a share. In your figure, i'm guessing you said SEBL would grow 12% in 2002 then do 30% in 2003 to 2006?

There IS an argument for buying SEBL at this point

Isn't that what I was just saying?

Deep down it's because like all of us I've been bruised so badly that I want an exceptionally conservative metric.

Understandable, but then one risks missing opportunities.

and

i don't think assuming 30% CAGR for 5 years is exceptionally conservative, especially given current conditions.
