Wayne, I also had a problem with his concept of PE vs. growth rates, as he used analyst guesses and not real eps, which are always much worse for the index. For example, S&P 500 eps were predicted to be up 10% last year, and came in up 3%.

I didn't see the article, but when BARRA (whom S&P hires to do the job) separates the 500 into growth & value indexes, mostly by P/B and growth rate, only 150 or so end up 'growth'.
