Hi Earlie,

I'll email you a piece I did recently on how companies increasingly fudge the numbers.

Could you email me the same paper? I would appreciate it.

Today on CNBC, a guy pointed out that, in the "old days", IBM regularly carried a PE in the 80s, whereas today's tech bellweather, MSFT, trades with a PE in the 50s. His point was that this is bad, because it is reflective of how high debt levels are, i.e. the EPS numbers are inflated now relative to then.
