Spek, I am perplexed by the action of PDGE's stock. While the company seems to be executing quite well, something continues to put downward pressure on the stock price. Maybe it's Barron Partners continual selling or maybe it is something else... Fear of asbestos liability? I wrote up my thoughts on Dale's 50% thread near the peak price in February, I recall, similar to my post on AUO near it's peak. Both calls stick in my craw. Sometimes I feel like a contrarian indicator and I tell myself I should just do the opposite of what I think I should do! If I plug in your .20 in expected earnings the valuation looks compelling: Company: PDGE Date: 5/6/05 This year's expected earnings: $0.20 EPS growth rate used for estimate: 9 Multiple Graham used for estimate: 8.5 Graham Fair Value: $3.73 Current Price: $1.34 $ difference: $2.39 Percent Growth to Fair Value: 178.45% So what am I missing?
