"How about 100% growers at 45x earnings?"

Looks like it's closer to 75x earnings? Are you a buyer at these levels?

it's easier to grow at those kind of rates when implementations are easier. i don't know afci that well, but I think vantive needs a leveraged channel to limit dependance on the high touch lengthy selling cycle to sustain these kind of growth rates safely. that's why i like arbor through these valuations, the ibm, psft, itwo et al can add a lot of distribution horsepower with moderate "back end loading"
