More money is being pulled off the table....   PE of SPX is still above 20 and is overbought.   Technology PE has dropped to 23 from 30, so is currently looking like the best bet for upside...    The market needs to wash out before we create a bottom...   This hasn't happened yet...

PE on AMZN 400, FB - 78.

also regarding E - it will drop like a rock in recession which is already starting, look at BDI

Don't try to rationalize price action with fundamentals.  That is for the prognosticators who can't trade price.  Prices overshoot and undershoot "value" all of the time during the cycles.  But I agree with your point and its an insightful observation.   I'm just saying that bears have been citing P/Es for years and it just didn't matter.... until it does.... all at once.  HAH.
