HI richard,

There also are times when multiples expand on stable repeatable earnings.

I'd have to say those only happen when money flows come so strongly to equities that demand for equities drives up the multiple.

Those times are dangerous times and really onnly enjoyable if you have been buying when equities were not so popular.

I really hate chasing stocks as it inevitably gets me in trouble.LOL

Bob

Hi Richard, when considering Year over year revenue and earnings comparisions.... it's time to include inflation into the revenues of the past year. after all gasoline prices have gone up for 32 consecutive and that is only one of the innumerable ways that inflation is diluting the top line and bottom line numbers that companies are reporting.
