< the enormous price volatility tell me, as an actuary, that a discount rate of something like 50% is definitely appropriate.>

But why wasn't it appropriate 2 months ago (ie. stock = $140)?

<< For example, a discount rate of 50% and a p/e of 30 applied to $10 earnings in 4 years means that $60 is the appropriate price today. >>

I agree with your statement, and I'd be happy with a 50% return from this level over the next 5 years.

Time will tell.
