Crazy P/E Ratios [view article]
"The data covers 1871 - 2008, and shows that as of 10/7/2008, the S&P 500 PE is ~16"Where do you get the data for the P/E for the SP500? I just calculated the P/E of SPY (based on NAV) which tracks the SP500 and as of Friday's close = 10.45. Of course this is trailing P/E, so even if earnings for the 500 stocks correct downward next year I just don't see much downside left. Shorting SPY seems like more like buying CSCO or something at the top of the dotcom bubble. Reply

Good article, but a small correction in your table. Come next week, Morgan Stanley might have a PE of zero: Price=0/ Earnings=Some number => 0 ReplyCrazy P/E Ratios [view article]

Root Problem: FRE & FNM used up to 100x leverage, AIG & LEH used up to 30X leverage; and that's after the banks used up to 10X Leverage on financial debt. This has to be stopped. The root problem going back to 1912 has to be fixed.WWW.GrandfatherReport....
Richard Fuld, CEO of LEH, admitted to 30x leverage contributing to the problem.
Now I read on seekingalpha.com about FRE and FNM doing 100:01 leverage on their debt insurance.
Most investment banks were leveraged by a ratio of 30 to 1, and they were dealing with billions of dollars instead of thousands. Government sponsored mortgage giants Freddie (FRE) and Fannie were using leverage closer to 100 to 1, because of their supposedly stricter lending standards and implicit government backing.

How can "we the people" know the root cause is being "fixed" if we don't know about the root cause. Most of the news is telling us the root cause is a lack of confidence about all those mortgages being paid as agreed.
And are we sure we understand what happens when 100:01 leverage is applied after the fractional banking reserve requirement is applied? Maybe if this subject needs a spotlight to get people's attention. Then maybe the "lack of confidence" could be better understood.

Buffett's Berkshire: 14 Stocks That Have Gone Up [view article]
Berkshire got caught in a short squeeze when shorting financials was temporarily banned. When everyone had to cover berkshire shorts simultaneously, the price shot to the roof. It has since gone down as low as 105 thousand in the forced selling by hedge and mutual funds. It has bounced up to 113 thousand at close, 10/11/08. Fair value by Morningstar is 157 thousand, so this is a great buying opportunity if you have a long term horizon. incidentally, wesco has a Morningstar fair value of 675, more than double it`s present stock price of 296. It is worth noting that both companies have no debt to speak of, and only Berkshire has a few stock default swaps/derivatives that are miniscule compared to it`s balance sheet.On Sep 29 04:33 PM 1996 wrote:

GKM doesn't seem to know what he really meant. low PEs become so because the E is based on expected earnings for next year are assumed to be higher therefore PE seems low at current prices . But what happens is that by end of next year the E will go down because of recession and companies collectively will make much less E than was forcasted at this time so if E goes down by 25 % then your forcasted PE of 12 suddenly becomes 16 ReplyCrazy P/E Ratios [view article]
The market "may have priced in" anticipated 2009 earnings, but based on long term PE's, we're still in a bubble. seeseekingalpha.com/artic...

The stock market correction is a reality check for those stocks commanded high price but no real growth.Every so often the market corrected to re-evaluate the valuation of each stock.
As the market start to recover, some will recover 50%, some will recover 100% and some will recover 1000% depending on future growth potential.
Not all stocks will recover equally, now it's the time to look for the next growth leader of each sector...it's always a stock-picking game after each correction.
My pick for the next winner: Thermogenesis(KOOL), I think it's the early CSCO of stem cell therapy/regenerative medicine. Reply

jcrash, I'm saying if you think that p/e's look cheap - then they likely look cheap for a reason and that could only mean one thing. When they look expensive, that's when the market will be starting to rally again. ReplyCrazy P/E Ratios [view article]
