>But 73 members of that metric sell at more than 40 times earnings. Coca-Cola Co. is now at a daunting 80 times net. Colgate-Palmolive's multiple is 37, Gillette's is 42. AIG, the big insurer, is at an alltime high of 38. < Coke is a puzzling stock to me. Low sales growth, low profitability, low tech, a commodity drink, and yet the stock is always in demand by institutions. I wonder why.

Susan - from the Contrarian (which i enjoy reading) P.S. . . Speaking of hate mail, now feels like the right time to share with readers that during the last 4 ½ years I've been writing the Market Rap, one of my most reliable indicators that the market is going to tank has been the amount of "flame" e-mails I get. I find it absolutely astounding, but whenever I get a spike in the number of people trying to flame me, I can rest assured that the rally is done. It's uncanny. And even though I've had my biggest spike in the past week by a factor of 10, I didn't expect only a one-day rally. Maybe prospectively I need to let readers know when it happens, although that might dilute its usefulness as an indicator. What I do know is that it has never failed to work. so is he saying the mails come in and we've had our tank?
