There was an article this morning from Motley Fool on the firewall/security industry with only lukewarm discussion of CHKKPF. Criticism was, in my view and biased as it may be, unfair and not that well informed. Funny (or rather not so funny) how you can describe a relatively low P/E for CHKPF as a "pessimistic multiple" instead of as a buying opportunity. The analysts, commentators, and other market gurus, are spectators! They are like sportscasters describing what they think is happening on the field. You never hear from one of those actually on the line and in the trenches and doing the work ever saying anything negative about CHKPF. These commentators make a living by writing cute and if they ever had an assignment to implement security they would be drenched in sweat. It is a lot easier to say or write how to do it than to actually do it.
