What a day in markets.....Dow & S&P 500 Green...NICE !!!

Markets continued on a wild ride taking all indices to new lows......Nasdaq closed @ new closing low for the year today....

Dow 6469.95 today...PROBABLY will go down in stock market history as a number which was unthinkable few months back...

S&P 500 @ 666.79 today....was also unthinkable only few weeks back.....

Both Dow & S&P 500 closed above yesterday's low...a good thing.....

AH Stem cells stocks are UP huge %...as President Obama is all set to lift Ban on federal funding for Stem cell research on Monday......

By 10 AM Saturday ..I will list technically weak/strong/buy rated stocks.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

hi Saleem,
Read your blog everyday.Thanks for all your insight. With the earnings of the S&P being lowered continuously (looks like $50 at the moment) isn't it safe to assume we are looking at lower P/E's across the board so what we think is cheap now might actually be fair value?

Hi Suzanne,

Thanks for your note & visiting my BLOG.

First thing.... we have to be careful about PE..it is being taken down below realistic levels in an environment like these days..

Secondly.... S&P may NOT be the right index to look for PE...it is Nasdaq which will propel us into better times....

Thirdly....Markets will look AHEAD towards 2010 EPS.....

In the end....it is all a matter of placing bet for future NOT current negative hysteria...

Please read my Sunday 10AM commentary..it will give pointed PE picture.
