>>>Benny (most (if not all) analysts have a 12-18 month price target of $25 - $35 dollars a share). Yes, and during the next 12-18 months there is some uncertainty about demand it's not cut & dry. But it will be by then IMO, hence if the predictions are anywhere close at 8 billion e-bills, or 1/10th of that 8 billion for that matter..and we dumb luck 50% share out of the blocks....which it looks like we just might...400 million transactions in 2000 makes $25-$35 a joke....oh maybe after our first split. That's the real wild card with CKFR, nobody is figuring e-bill in their future valuations. If it works, their won't be nothing on the board moving as fast as this dog. JASMOOADD.

First of all, understand we are in the same corner. Secondly, I hope management is having this type of debate over the merits. Intrinsic value of "double" as used in Buffets statement would be difficult to support with CKFR. Revenues have grown ~8-15% on a Q-Q basis the last fiscal year. Trailing P/E is negative, as is the Sept98 Qtr, as revised down by Pete. The last CC was a momentum breaker to say the least and created much doubt with WS as to the lack of control over revenues. Consensus EPS for June '99 FY is ~$0.13 and FY2000 $0.55. There are plenty of growth opportunities to further strengthen CKFR relative to adding technology, expanding services and broadening International market coverages. I want the stock price to go up too, but I also understand how to invest in growth. If they do buy shares -- they simply announced their intention -- I hope it has the intended result as Buffet believes. As to Analysts predicting a $10 price range over a 12-18 month time frame, I sincerely hope you don't buy stocks with that type of information. Good luck to all CKFR patient investors. Enough of this discussion.
