"Fidelity provides 3-5 earnings growth projections but that seems to far out to me." Same reason I ignore people who use 5-yr PEG in setting prices. Not only does 5 years seem too long for analysts to be accurate, research - as published in peer-reviewed academic journals - show that it is. I like analysts 12 months out. Further? I'll just track the company going forward and hope it doesn't wreck, at least not without giving me a big disembark signal.

Re: 3-5 year estimates Yes, what you say makes sense. Another thing I do is look at the projections in different ways. What kind of growth are they assuming to get to that estimate? What happens if the PE comes in below where they project? In general, do the numbers make sense to me. I agree, the further out you get, the less accurate they tend to be on an absolute number basis.
