Potential interest for COMS based on Motley Fool :
Earning per share
98 ________ .35
99 ________ 1.35 (Yahoo source)
00 ________ 1.9

This gives an average growth rate of 170%
At current price, EPS = 72
I get a ratio, they call it the Fool ratio of .42
This sends a 'Buy signal'

scribe.fool.com
WITH FOOL RATIO TEND TO
.50 or less Buy
.50 to .65 Look to buy
.65 to 1.00 Watch (or "hold")
1.00 to 1.30 Look to sell
1.30 to 1.70 Consider shorting
Over 1.70 Short

Now, most of us know that COMS 'should' go up. But it does not. Well, I believe that if resuls to come are in line with estimates, then it will give more and more credibilty to the huge earning growth rate expected.
After a difficult year like this one, there is of course some concern that things have not been cleaned really, and that next year estimate will not be met. As we move forward, I do not think we need extraordinary good news to get the stock up. We simply need for COMS NOT to disappoint.
A big 'if' for many who have been burnt.
