Eugene:<< I love that. Did you ignore the not always part or what? And if you bought amat at 120(30) in 1995, how would you have done from 8/95 until 10/8/98? Down about 25% in over 3 years. Quite a performance. >> Hmm, pretty touchy tonight. Thanks for pointing out the extreme. I am sure we will all find it useful. Jeff

ek, all this return stuff depends on when you pick your start and end points. since many stocks are at historical highs, many choose to pick their end point now and disregard normal valuations. imho, this gooses the numbers a lot... but it does make the masses feel better ;-)
