Enough of this PE ratio and $100/share in 2007 baloney. There are way too many issues uncontrollable to determine Wave's share price next year and $100 is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!!! Shame on certain respected posters for spreading this nonsense!
1-users must know about the TPM, hardly any do.2-users must understand the TPM, hardly any do.
3-users must feel they need to activate the TPM.
4-users must acknowledge the additional costs to do so. Many budgets are strict and have not allocated $ for this
5-users must have enough TPM-pcs to make a difference
6-users must also have TPM network equipment
7-significant competition must not arise!
8-MSFT must not be perceived as "good enough" security by the small percentage that DOES turn it on
9-MSFT must not intentionally delay further
10-Intel must not intentionally delay further
11-All the supporting hardware is still not ready, there mUST not be any more delays
12-Wave must acutally do better than promised, and they promise next year to only be the first opportunity for them.
13-For 2008, Wave must actually do somewhat close to what they expect, and historically this has never happened.
14-the government must INCREASE their TPM aware activity, and they have ALWAYS delayed their own schedules, to a tune of YEARS, not months.
15-there must not be any missteps, an institution getting publicly hacked for instance.
16-there is the whole privacy thing still!
17-geez I can go on and on.
Relax, Wave will do fine, but this whole thing stinks of 99-in-99 again and people will margin and get outta control. $100 in 2007 is hyping if I ever saw it, and its coming from some of the most respected posters. Shame!
