Coke will go down ultimately but not until the last bull crosses the line.

"When is Coke going down?" for the answer see: fool.yahoo.com a telling quote from the article is: "...Coke's carefully managed earnings growth has been, to a certain extent, an illusion, and ... its growth seems likely to slow in the near future." regards

"Coke seems to defy gravity" maybe--but to correct my earlier post: coke realized .23 cents per share from sale of bottlers this year.ÿ thus operating earnings, not including profit from bottler sales, will grow from approx 1.47 (1.70, current 1997 estimate, less .23) in 1997 to about 1.75 in 1998, a 19% increase. and there is still east central europe, china, india and the middle east for future growth. that is still 37 times 98 estimate, but coke's growth is far higher than the 5% growth number some have been citing. also see biz.yahoo.com for more on coke's growth. ÿ regards.
