Crazy P/E Ratios

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
