Would You Buy Stock in This Company? <<* PE ratio at the 24 brick wall. * Investors should not expect 30% yearly gains, 10% is much more likely>> A company has a pe of 24 and is growing at 10% a year. Would you buy this company's stock? What am I missing??

Skeeter, Bob's commentary on the 10% was to contrast with past expectations. He was setting an upper limit. He specifically said - "If you can make 10% a year in the stock market from this point forward, you are doing very well." "Unfortunately, a lot of investors in the last three years have come to believe 30% a year is their birthright. Well it is not your birthright. Maybe 10% a year is your birthright, not 30% not even 20%" Sorry for the confusion with my summary. --Alan
