Stock Market Crash! Blog

Tuesday, July 20, 2004

Todays bullish action on the markets comes as a result of the markets being severely oversold. Alan Greenspan's commentary just provided the bullish catalyst to cause the uptrend. Also, because we are in the Summer Doldrums, don't expect any move to last long. I think once we hit September or the fall the markets should start trending again. The Presidential elections will undoubtably cause a stir as well.

I currently have no opinion either way on short term market direction. I just think we are at a crossroad in the market that will last for some time.

Intel is down 10.56% percent today on disappointing earnings. Yahoo was down similarily as well. This just showcases my theory on tech being way overvalued. Some of these tech companies post solid earnings, but the shares plummet. This is because investors have overly optimistic expectations for earnings growth.

It seems like we are in a second tech stock bubble. Yahoo has a P/E ratio of over 160! Amazon has a P/E of 147! The long term average P/E ratio for quality stocks is 15. In order for these tech shares to reach historical safe levels, stocks are going to have to crash for a long time.

It is a fact that all major bull markets started at times of major pessimism after long bear markets. At these times, P/E ratios were extremely low, the opposite extreme of what we are experiencing today.

What is it with people and tech stocks? Are they destined to constantly be overvalued? I think it has to do with a certain mystique surrounding technology. This mystique causes technology issues to attain beyond speculative prices.

This is NOT a good time to be a long term investor. I will stick to shorter term trading and am looking forward to profiting in the coming bear market.
