MB - ( You've got it. If they sell off all their businesses and just have cash, they should get a huge PE multiple. <g> )

Only if they are careful to avoid high interest rates on that cash, or if it turns out to be debt. -g-

And the proof of the pudding:

from Briefing.com: 09:02 ET CustomTracks Corp (CUST) 42 1/8: Company reports Q1 loss of $0.16 a share, on nil in revenue. There were no comparable results, as company sold its revenue-generating businesses in November. CUST reiterates its plan to invest $20-$30 mln in 1999 on its new Internet transaction payment system. Based on stock's 294% year-to-date rise in price, investors wagering that system will be major success.
