Carl, Wow that's a lot of data. Let me try to simplify my view.

I'm a Graham fan. In his The Intelligent Investor, he had an
interesting formula to gauge approximate FMV (Tried to look up the
page but couldn't find it on short notice). Somewhat modified for
current events, is:

(Current Year EPS *(8.5 + (2 * Proj Growth Rate of EPS)) * (4.4/7.7))

So then let's plug in the pieces (I love algebra). The October S&P
Stock Guide estimated 1997 EPS for the S&P to be $44.49. Let's see
what happens to the FMV at different projected growth rates:

GROWTH FMV S&P
RATE INDEX

10 797
11 853
12 909
13 965

Seems this quarter is coming in at about 12% growth. Comments?
