regarding BRCM, now that everyone has been shown that they will for sure do at least $1.15 to $1.50 next year depending on the economy, the forward PE for next year on a GAAP basis (true eps) is under 15 now for a stock that's growing north of that.
In other words, you get a minimum $30 stock for half the price.
But don't take too long because the sale ends soon!
