Here we go again.

Crappy jobs numbers released, and the 10-yr. Treasury Yield instantly crashes, commodity prices plunge, and investors celebrate by buying stawks!!

At least CSCO has a P/E ratio of 13, Salesforce.com has a P/E ratio of "N/A", LOL..Posted ImagePosted Image

CSCO is actually selling conservatively at 13 P/E.....
Anyone recall the P/E's during 2000 Internet bubble?
Many outfits had not even started doing business...
Many others had P/E's approaching 100...
Yet they all had hot stocks.

DJI has currently 7 or 8 stocks selling at historically conservative P/E even
after the bull run of last 4-5 months. I had posted a while back a chart of
corporate profit growth over last 10 years. It clearly showed profits are
high but rate of growth is getting smaller every year.

My Conclusion: CAUTIOUSLY Bullish until market says not so! Why fight the trend?

maybe its your experience...previous bull markets rotate to all groups...the last phase is pigs or stocks that haven't moved going up big.
