I'm a long-time CKFR stockholder and believer (bought most of my shares in the teens over the last couple years). I don't consider myself much of a stock market expert, but I do know a good product when I see one. I was a CheckFree user long before I became a stockholder. My question for those of you who are experts is...Given that the consensus earnings estimates for CKFR are -.06 for this fiscal year (ending 6/98), and .29 for next fiscal year (ending 6/99), tell me what you think are the realistic fair values we can expect for this stock at each of those dates? Assume that the estimates turn out to be correct. Please explain in detail how you calculate the stock prices. Tell me how you justify your numbers. Also, what is a fair Price/Earnings ratio and why? Thank you in advance for the education...
