RtS, I would take no comfort in being right, if it was on a flip of a coin. There is no predictive value in guessing right a hundred times in a row.
But I really want to explore the idea that stocks are going to respond to aggregate income, dollar strength, GDP, employment, and spending/savings. And conversely, the traditional measures of P/S or P/E or P/B will not be used during this time when sales and earnings are seen to be abnormally low, and bound to improve.
The only support for skepticism about stock prices is the double dip. If you see that coming, whether because of saturation of demand for homes and cars. Or because of war, then the current data about employment/income is irrelevent.
Personally, I believe that the current glut of production capacity means more material goods at lower cost. It is a problem that many countries would love to have.
Anyway, I don't see that double dip at this time. But I agree that war will have unpredictable results.
