Re:I still believe you have a good shot at hitting your short target, but I suggest you not make blanket statements like "Sunw has not had great performance over the past year. Only the PE is rising. This is a classic bubble..." Actually Mike, I was very generous with my choice of words. I said Sunw has not had great performance over the past year. I could have more accurately stated Sunw has had a lousy year. FY1998 Top Line growth was only 13%, that is lousy for a stock that commands a PE ratio of over 30. EPS FY1998 was $1.93 vs EPS FY1997 of $1.97 Exscuse Mike, but what is so great about that. I know, I know. Let me guess next year is going to be great for SUNW. Re:Great is a relative term. Look at SUNW's competitors, compare their growth rates over the last year and then check out SUNW. I think you will be surprised ( unless you already know the answer and are just trying to create FUD ). Say what? Oh now I see, if Company A is doing lousy it is ok because company B is even doing worse. Now I am beginning to understand SUNW investor euphoria. Dale
