Carl,

I'm enjoining rhe discussion as well and hope that others will jump
in. If you look at the S&P 100, it is clearly obvious that most of
them have anemic sales growth rates. What they have going for them
is fantastic return on equity and the fact that each incremental
dollar in revenue has a greater tendency to move to the bottom line.
Fixed costs vs. variable costs.

As to your last year zero, this year $1.50 example, the key variable
is not a one year EPS growth, but projected future (i.e., 5 year)
growth rate. From my perspective, it's not an issue of inflation or
deflation, as Graham showed that these concepts had no relationship
to stock appreciation.

The question I'm seeking help on is what you and others believe the
long-term EPS growth rate. Is the current 12% sustainable and, if
so, for 5 years? Then I'll just let the formula do the talking and
we'll see.
