Remember back when most here were sitting in the sunshine sipping cold kool-aid basking in our perceived intelligence?

Remember this but dont tell anyone...lol : These are similar methods as to what we would use in our division calculations and obviously with different number values. We used a 5 year plan assuming the first 5 years and assigned a year for each as an example. For the purists, `(Rainer was correct) we did use a spreadsheet and inputted various component values. We helped the factoring in of a mania by using a very steep earnings curve, increases in market share and overall semiconductor market gains year over year and then balanced it out.

YR GROSS REVS EPS AFTR MRGN/SHRE SHARE VAL W/ PE
2015 ---478M---------$2.27--------$.22-----------$14.96
2016----4.46B--------$21.23-------$2.12---------$144.16
2017--- 16.8B---------$80-------$8.00------------$544
2018- --54.77B-------$260.47-----$26.07---------$1772.76
2019- ---96.4B-------$457.14-----$45.17---------$3071.56

We then divided each number by a constant of 210 m O/S. To get a gross earnings per share.

Did ya ever think we'd be at .77 in q4 '16?

By now we would have partied in Vegas and all sitting on our own island in the south Pacific.

There's hope but it has dwindled. Perhaps we'll hear something soon eh?
