How do you get $17 - $20 from your analysis? Is this a program?

Bean counter method is Benjamin Graham/Warren Buffet method.

It is as follows for gems:

Discount rate for net present value computation: 12%
Assumed growth rate of earnings for next 5 years: 15%
Assumed growth rate of earnings for years 6-10: 10%
Assumed growth rate of earnings after 10 years: 3%
Net earnings for most recent fiscal years end (1000's): $70,444.00
Net earnings for prior fiscal year end (1000's): $76,448.00
Stock price/share at which current market value based: $17.06
Outstanding # of shares (1000's): 60,197

Conclusions based on above:
computed intrinsic value (1000's): $1,603,349
Current market value of company (1000's): $1,026,961

Margin of safety or (risk) in 1000's: $676,388
Current market value as % of intrinsic value: 64.05%
Price per share at intrinsic value: $26.64

The above numbers for earnings estimates are the lowest from analysts covereing the stock. You can really change the value drastically by using a different discount rate. This is basically the risk factor. You would use a lower discount rate for blue chip company and a higher one for small cap company. Discount rate for no risk cd is 6% or so. The lowest discount rate I've seen the bean counter method use is 10% for stocks like Coca Cola or Microsoft. 12% might be a little low for gems.

I don't use the fool model except to compare with above model.
It usually shows lower value especially with high PE stocks like
Microsoft.
