I believe that you have misread the VL data. Avg annual P/E ratio has been for 1997-1993, 25.4, 27, 18.8, 15.8, 18.9. that does not equate to a PE ratio of 21 over that time period. In addition 11/7/97 summary and index shows forward earnings of $2.15/share. Also Standards and Poors is forecasting a earnings growth rate of 20% this year and 24% over the next 5 years. Since the forward looking growth rate is seriously in question it is difficult to set a target price for this stock. In my opinion it is fairly priced at its present cost.
