Resolved Question

Can anyone tell me Cramers formula for calculating P/E multiples?

If memory serves it basically has three different risk variables, but i dont
remember what they are or how they relate.

Found this after googling some of those terms:

"A multiple is affected by three kinds of risk: political, earnings and
inflation. Cramer eliminated earnings risks from the equation, said that
inflationary ..."

unfortunately, this was copied from the google link which was an RSS feed so i
can find the actual link (im sure its expired) but im still missing the formula
itself anyone here got it yet?

just remembered another one of the risk variables, i think it was inflation
risk. ring any bells yet?

yeah i know one of the risks was political and i believe the segment where he
gave this formula was about predicting multiple contractions and expansions. I
was just first watching the show when i saw it so the memory is a bit foggy (i
barely knew what a P/E was back then!) but seems to me a very useful thing to
keep in mind when trying to calculate stock values in times like these. thanks
for anyone has helped by trying to answer so far.

I dunno. Never heard of any other way and I have read three of his books and
watch the show everyday.

However, you could look at the M = P/E equation and realize that there is a
strict relationship between each of the variables. If one changes, the others
change. Therefore, you have the risk of multiple contraction and/or earnings
revisions downward; either of which would cause the price to go down.

i know about the strait forward one but cramer has mentioned another way of
deriving it that involves 3 different risk variables thats what im interested
in.
