OT: Infoseek (SEEK)

I went short in SEEK today $33 3/4. Why?
-----
30.9 mill outstanding shares
5.6 mill float

book value $1.00
Earnings (-0.93›)
sales $1.31
cash $1.15
net income $24.6 Mill
sales $34.6 Mill
Market Cap as of 4/22/98 $1.0 Billion

closing price :$32 5/8 (I'm already over $1 up in my short!)

current price/sales = 25
current price/book = 32.5

using today's closing price
est. earnings year end 1998 (-.16›)/share = NA
est earnings year end 1999 0.27›/share PE = 120

Let's see how efficient this market is in the longer run. I'm betting that SEEK's chart is going to continue to look like IOMG's chart 2 years ago. SEEK's market cap (over $1 Billion is backed up by just $34.6 Mill in sales, or a scant 3.46%). My target is $15 which will give me a profit of 55%.
