asymptotic, exponential, or parabolic?
you guys might be using asymptotic incorrectly here... it is possible for the earnings and stock price to grow asymptotically... big deal... they could increase asymptotically and approaches a nice clear line that grows at a measly $20/share per year

I love exponential... let's grow at 80-100% per year

parabolic is a beautiful thing in short runs... the world's best scenario for my Man Morgan and his option calls... but usually parabolic runs lead to nasty selloffs... not to mention pissed off people who bought tops, thus leading to volatility

exponential, yes, I like that... it works for me
sorry, Gregg, for my dreamy thoughts
I also like the next 5-7 years

"OK I give up what on earth is asymptotic? I figured out that its vey good but ....how good? Can we get more asym....., where do they
come from ?"

Asymptotic = a curved line that always gets closer to a straight line but never actually gets there (they don't cross).
