I do think this stock is not going to do a whole lot in the SR. However, lets assume analysts are somewhat correct when they call for $ .75 this year and $2.91 next year. If this is the case, I wouldn't expect a whole lot of price jump until the end of the year as we start looking foward to '99. At that point, if we put a 20 x multiple on '99 earnings we are looking @ a $58 stock. That is over a 5 bagger in 2 years. I will certainly take it or anything close. I realize this might be realistically optimistic, but its only to make a point.
If this thing goes to thirty in '99, its still a great buy.

If you have a bad stomach, don't eat spicy foods,
