Jim yesterday: "Looking at a hand full of valuation metrics and the relationship they have had to market price per share in the past, looking at 20 years of prices and value metrics suggests that, if the price today were at the average level seen since then, the various metrics would suggest a price today of about $405-435 per B share. Note the "if"--that isn't a prediction, at best just a sense of scale."
