Generates $2.00+ / share in FCF per year with little leverage. Run rate EPS of $2.05 at the mean 15x PE multiple implies the stock should get to $30 the summer of '07... (when the "fog" of investment spend has cleared).

This is a fluke. I knew the stock was undervalued but I didn't expect it to quadruple. I didn't even put real money in. Regretting that now obviously.
