Yeah, that value, plus the lack of immediate movement when it split, got me out 10 points above the present price. Love the company. I plan to get back in next year. I don't think we will see any upward move for a least 6 months.

RE: SAP richly valued at High PE << SAP is also very richly valued, at approx. 80x 1998 and 60x 1999 projected earnings. With a projected 99/98 growth rate of approx. 40% >> My feeling is that they will switch to American accounting rules with this quarterly report and earnings will be down. This will raise the PE even more, PLUS crush expectations. If this were a normal stock, I'd definitely be shorting right now. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS COMPANY, but I got killed in a stock that dropped 50% in 2 days when it announced an earnings report with lower-than-expected earnings. It is possible German investors could prop-up SAP, but I think they're getting nervous about Russia. Good Luck to all, Ray
