_____________ The Peabody Model
-Click here for a summary of the principles behind the Peabody Model.
Short-Term PFE Trend: Neutral with an upward bias (4/10/99)
After reaching an all-time high, Da Model automatically turns Neutral or Down if the target Peak is reached.
Target Peabody Peak: The pending Peabody Peak was set on Monday, 4/12/99 (150.13). The new target Peabody Peak is a record 157.25 (+8.7%) by Monday, 4/26/99.
Target Peabody Valley: If the Model is wrong, the target Peabody Valley is 133.31 (-7.8%) to be reached by 4/19/99. The Valley Strike Price is $140.13 (-3.1%).
Predicted PFE Level: At the current record Dow high level of 10,412, the predicted PFE price is 149.91..... Accordingly, PFE is 3.5% underpriced as compared to historical Dow and PFE trends.
Da Short-term PForecast (4/14/99) PFE: 144.63, Dow: 10,412: Be very alert!!!! PFE 1 Qt earnings could trigger a strong move up or down. If the move is down to the 140 level, another PFE buy opportunity will be upon us. The bell will be ringing and Mr. Peabody will be buying. Like most PFE 1999 buy opportunities , it may last only for a period of 30 minutes to an hour...... If the move is up as indicated by Da Model, the 150 level will be blown away before next's week's Celebrexation.
Da Gut Feel: PFE will move up higher from the open with a positive EPS Report.
Suggested PFE Buying Range: $130 to $140 (4/14/99)

The PFE 1999 Split: All you need to know
-At the 4/22/99 Annual Meeting, shareholders will officially authorize increasing the number of outstanding shares to allow a 3-1 split.
-In the afternoon of 4/22/99, the PFE Board of Directors will meet and formally approve the 3-1 split and determine its effective date.
-The effective split date will probably be following the June 30, 1999 close..(based on the 1997 split which also became effective after the 1997 Annual Meeting.)
-A split does not increase the value of PFE. However, historically it certainly has not hurt the PFE price . Note PFE's growth during the split years:
