January 23, 2009 at 1:45 PM #334159Chris Scoreboard JohnstonParticipantthe biggest reason that p/e’s are not good guages of value anymore is that they are based on corporate dishonesty as we have seen time and time again. There are much better ways of determining value than p/e’s, do some homework before investing based on them. Big picture I think we go much lower but bounces can come at any time due to how short term oversold we are. I would play them as a trade and not an investment if doing them. I am just selling rallies myself with my large accounts and using some shorter term strategies that I use in both directions in the smaller ones. I think we are headed under 6k maybe to 5500 or so before the low gets made. The new PPT team is trying to fight the downmove but even they do not have deep enough pockets, and it is too early to tell exactly what their strategy will be in futures. They have been active the last 2 days it appears.

January 23, 2009 at 1:58 PM #334164sunny88Participant[quote=FormerSanDiegan]Now is a great time to be dollar cost averaging into the market. Many stocks are at P/E ratios not seen since Peter Lynch’s hey-day.
However, I am definitely not amping up my stock allocation or going “all in” or even in large chunks. Too many things can still go wrong to do that.
I don’t know if the stock market will pick up in 2009, 2010 or 2011, but I am betting that 10 years from now it will be largely higher than today.
[/quote]I would be extremely careful with investing in stocks right now as a lot more bad news will be coming. Once people realize that the new administration will not be able to have a solution for a quick fix the stock market will take another dive. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Dow goes down another 1,000 points before recovering.
