Come on Sparky, bad mouthing CPU does not cut it anymore when you see the strong growth in more profitable area of its business. Why don't go to the YHOO and AOL board and point out that banner ads are failing and AOL's valuation is insane? CPU is traded only at a Price/Sale of 0.1! Compared that to the Price/Sale of YHOO at 150! CPU's revenue is 6 BILLION, while YHOO"s revenue is 0.2 BILLION. You are as nuts and insane as those idiot Wall Street analysts, always piling on somebody who is down, and chasing anything that is interNUTS.

I have a problem with that logic. If CPU was only stores it might hold. I have a business that does A, B, and C. All of them distintctly different business units I start of with only A A does great Then I do B A is still doing great B is mediocore Then next year A is doing good B is doing good Then I do C A is doing OK B is doing very good C is doing Great This is a company with multiple business units and the slippage in same store sales (caused by declining margins that effects the ENTIRE industry ) in one of the business units but the other units are doing better than ever.....
