Rappaport says something to the effect that bookvalue is not as good an indicator today as in the past because of the service nature of many of today's firms, the expensing of R&D, the changing of the accounting standards and it does not take into account the residual value of the firm. I am not a financial type. To me his arguments make sense; however, you seem to be implying that he may be wrong and indeed book value is a good indicator. The questions I have is indicator of what?

I appreciate you thoughts and answer. Thank you.

Terry
