>>$11 isn't so cheap

I agree. NTAP still selling at a premium to fundamentals.

re: 0.3x is cheap, just look at LU:

Busted badly-managed hi-debt dinosaurs (like LU) have low P/S, PE, and other "value" parameters. And deserve them.

The problem with NTAP is the economy and the sector, not the company. For NTAP to get to a P/S of 0.3, LU would have to get to a P/S of 0.03. The two companies will never have the same valuation (assuming their track records predict future performance).

Caveat: I thought a retest of the post-9/11 lows was highly unlikely on this dip, so I've already been proven Irrationally Exuberant.
