The following tabulation gives earings per share figures for the Foust Company durining the preceeding 10 years. The firm's common stock, 7.8 million shares outstanding, is now (1/1/03) selling for $65 per share, and the expected dividend ar the end of the current year (2003) is 55 percent of the 2002 EPS. Because investors expect past trends to continue, g may be based on teh earnings growth rate. ( note that 9 years of growth are reflected in the data).

1995 4.55
1996 4.91
1997 5.31
1998 5.73

2000 6.68
2001 7.22

Since it's so hard trying to get a good interest rate as a young adult with no credit, I was wondering if you can sell short Treasury Bonds which can have easier interest rates.

I am holding HDFC, Reliance Ind, ICICI Bank for years. I think NTPC will be more profitable company and rerated after several years following deregulation and reforms. I think it is the best power company in India. Will investment in other companies be more profitable at present? My other major holdings are TCS, Infosys, Wipro, RELCOM, IDFC, BHEL, Hindalco. I am going to retire after 9 yrs.
