Don't you guys who do research hate it when you read S&P reports that show grades or no grades at all or not enough detail in terms of how much a company's stock price is really worth?

As a new investor, my philosophy is simple: current price < fair value < target price. I also pay attention to the technical analysis charts with moneycentral.msn.com 's charts which are terrific.

Problem: I still need to be able to figure out fair value for myself.

After going through Jubak's CSCO and PEP example, the one thing that still bothered me was how or where he pulled this data from:

There is no report that explicitly gives you that data, unless you calculate for yourself? Possibly?

So my question: is there any other calculators you guys use? Or any tools to help determine the exact 1-3 year, 4-6, 7-10 year earnings growth estimates?

I realize that this screening criteria is only applicable for a large cap company with market cap in proximity to PEP. I.e. you wouldn't plug in a small cap company's
data and compare it to a large cap's benchmark data. Don't mix apples and oranges: mix apples with apples and oranges with oranges.
