Hey, R&D, you win some you lose some. I know I'm putting a positive spin on it but these people have a pretty good track record. They are building a hefty cash reserve and have a huge market cap. They need to use it to continue to come up with leading edge services and technology. 20,000,000,000.00 yes that's alot of zero's. Can't give you a valuation. Personally I'd love to see it in the 10 to say 15 bil. range. Even then I still couldn't give you a valuation model. O.K. so their not growing this thing at 300 % a year but can you predict when the next plateau will be crossed. I can't tell you (I sure don't want to miss it though) but I sure like the foundations this management team has built. If anyone can do it they can. FDA (hey if AOL loses steam, there's always viagra) p.s. downside, they get pulled out of their market leadership position by something so much better it's irresistable. Unless they become as business savvy as Mr. Gates, not even Apple's better products could've saved them.
