Gary , thanks again for your summary as to where csco will be in 5 years. You asked what they said over on the dell thread , here is the best response I got: To: Dennis (58436 ) From: Craig Lieberman Sunday, Aug 16 1998 2:06PM ET Reply # of 58563 Dennis, Look to Michael Dell for your answer. Didn't he say that DELL will be a $60 Billion company in 2001. It is now a $13 Billion company. So even with a shorter time horizon than now, consider 60/13 to be your ratio for the stock price or about 4.6. Assume that the stock is trading at 30% growth per year so a PE of 30 is what it deserves going forward. current earnings of around $2 this year x 4.6 gives earnings of $9.20 x 30 = $276 share price some time in 2001. Hows that for 3 years of investing. BTW if they do continue to grow at 30% for the two years after that, the earnings would be around $15.50/share in 5 years. which would conservatively (lets say 25% growth from there deserves a PE of 25). would lead to a share price of 25 x $15.50 = $388/share. Hope it helps explain why I am long in DELL since 1996 and will continue to remain long for some time. Gary , thanks again. This was probably the best response I got over at Dell Thread: Craig Next Previous \| Previous \| Next \| Respond \| View reply to this message
