It's strange and wonderful, the way that he communicates with the crowd." Explains the Rocket simply: "I hate...
...selling at 47 times earnings. Viewed at current earnings, the market may indeed be too high, reflecting a hedge against more inflation as well as a hope of sharing in the growth of the economy. But it is not too high in the light of the earnings investors think they can expect. Nevertheless, some experts expect a pause or short drop for the Bull to catch his breath. The pessimists fear a major shakeout. They could be right only if the nation's reading on its new economy is wrong. And in 1958 the economy's reaction...
