resulted in spiraiing prices and, according to Mr. Riley, in some P/E
ratios being too low, some too high and, in isolated instances, ridicu¬
lous. To overcome this information gap, Mr. Riley contributes a set
,
of performance norms permitting in-depth analysis under the theory
that actual accomplishments revealed by comparative data speak
louder than other measurements.
Performance areas suggested for
study are 12 in number and they range from excess interest earnings to price-earnings ratios. The results of 10 faster growing com;
panies are compared to 12 slower ones. Observations made include*
confirmation of traditional beliefs that slower growth produces
more profits.
Mr. Riley offers "do" and "don't" advice; suggests
that the average investor avoid new life companies; and notes that

meteoric rise in favor and equally rapid plunge into disfavor, and
chastises the industry for doing so little to correct public misimpressions about the SBIC's including misleading "self-dealing" news
stories. Mr. Rubel proposes the industry organize itself for proper
public relations coverage. He predicts a 7% average yield by 1964
and fully funded reserves for losses leaving true yield on interest
earnings at 3% per annum. He further predicts a price rise from
60% to 70% of book value with a continued strong stock market
