An additional comment about Value Line. I tend to look more closely at the "Stock Price Stability" and "Earnings Predictability" numbers at the bottom right corner. I feel that the 3-5 year projections can be relied upon only if those numbers are fairly high. For LSI the two numbers are (from the April 1997 edition) -- 5 and 10 (on a scale of 0 to 100, mind you). Which is really pathetic! What it tells me is that whenever LSI makes a rapid upward move in a short time, it is more than likely to come back. That's when I usually sell (like I did when it hit 42 earlier this year). I think looking merely at the 3-5 year projections without looking at the other statistics can lead us astray. Take Sysco (SYY) for instance. A "stock price stability" of 75 and an "earnings predictability" of 100! Now, that is what makes me feel very comfortable about the 1999-2001 target of $55. Same Value Line. But different stock! Dipy.
