In Take Stock, I can't make sense out of the average hi and low PE's used in your calculations. The first five years which were also the highest have been crossed off as outliers, aren't they supposed to be disregarded in arriving at the average high and low to be used later? For instance, the average low PE of 24.5 is higher than any individual year, and the average high PE is even further off the average of the last five years high PE. It makes the estimated high and low prices completely out of touch with reality.

I can't see the problem. How does this compare with what you see?
