Thanks mindmeld, your reasoning is reasonable <g>. I was thinking, as I said, you were in this for the long term, and obviously your not. My mistake. That makes a huge difference in your approach to investing. I was also wrong in leaving out the 10% return you said you had built into your analysis. You had it in there. If your time horizon is for a "short term trading opportunity", then your DCF analysis has even less application I would think. That is more of a long term consideration rather than a "short term trading issue", right? There are many other issues (Enron fallout, projections of next quarters revenues, and technical analysis for examples) that will actually move this stock up and down over the short term. I am interested in your reliance on DCF analysis for just a "short term trading opportunity". Please explain. Thanks. Jeff
