You bought the stock for one day on a whim and sold it? ...I have been following this company for two years. I appreciate your opinion and seeing some negative slant is a good thing to a certain degree. Anyone can juggle imagined numbers; it is much harder to do the work and understand a cos. business. I've done that work. To answer your questions, please note the co. supports a 40 percent growth rate in revenues and EPS for 1999, using accepted accounting practices. What use then is the juggling of numbers away from accepted practices?

Your statements and the (ahem) "accounting" mindset you used made me laugh, since you adjusted the number down once in a non-standard way (taking a one-time charge out) and secondly you adjusted the tax rate for the year (already on the books) which never existed. I mean, why don't I just imagine a tax rate of "0" for this year, and then claim some P/E based on that EPS? Do you have some sort of trading motive you hope to further by posting misleading information? You said: The EPS for 1998 was .89 (with the one time charge) but would only be .71 if fully taxed. At $26.5 stock price the PE is 37. Not cheap.
