Steve Re CPU It bears an eerie parallel to another company in its industry sector. yahoo.marketguide.com Two years ago, BBY was selling for a split-adjusted $4. Like CPU, the market cap was a little more than 10% of annual sales. Like CPU, operations were break-even to a slight loss. Like CPU, debt was reasonable, sales were increasing and new stores were opening. I don't think they had as much cash as CPU but I am not sure. Current BBY margins are 1.9% and the PE is in the 40's. The stock closed today at 52 9/16, a 1300% increase in two years. Now, if CPU could just get its margins to 1.9%. Hmmmmmmm. John
