RWK, or both

I used P/S but certainly P/E would be the meaningful metric as a company became large.

To that end SYMC is reasonably like Wave and currently has a P/S of 2 and a P/E of 20.

It all comes down to whether Wave can extract hefty margins in the open standards space or whether competition such as that SYMC endures will hammer their earnings bringing the models closer together.

In the face of all this ballyhoo, I really only care about top line growth right now (and cash flow, of course). Currently top line growth and cash flow are adequate (barely) for me.
