Clark-- Yardeni acknowledges the reality of the S&P recommendations, but doubts their near term use either by the corporations or the analysts. As a practical matter he continues use of the existing measures, but has lowered his equity allocation as a result of the Worldcom exposures in recognition of investors' and analysts increasing ....etc etc.

He reckons that "last year S&P operating earnings were $45./share while reported earnings were $25. Investors chose to use the higher number. If tyhey had used the lower one, the S&P index might have been down 50% last year instead of 13%."

Yardeni's no blowhard, and as smart as any.
