michael piturro: P/E min. $6? I'm wondering how you reach this figure. That means averaging $1.60 per quarter over the next three quarters, starting from pro forma of $1.20 for the just-ended quarter. That's like a whole extra quarter for free (when compared to $4.80), and implies a measly 36 multiple on current-year earnings. Do you think the consensus is just being timid, or are those analysts not really on top of some potential profit growth? What areas do you think are going to grow more than expected?
