<OFF TOPIC> Actually it wasn't that interesting. The talking heads on CNBC were poking at the fact that KO's top line growth is pretty pokey and intimated that since they are a quality co. that has pretty much wrung all of the possible earnings out of available revs, in the coming Qs earnings growth could be difficult to come by. The conversation was started with a neutral rating with a price target (which is still awfully high for a co that sells brown water) below current value. In short, nothing new but it is nice to see someone else (guest analyst & major brokerage house) validating the theory that KO is at an extreme multiple when the major drivers of technological advancement are getting crapped on. Small moral victories are still victories. Scott
