Well, it is possible that Price/Book or Price/Sales would be better, but where are the guidelines over a period of time.
On the way down historical price to sales or price to book is a better method to use to "call the bottom".

The table below was put together "in haste" to gather point data on a few stocks that are presently in the SOXM just to get a feel for some of the numbers. These are present numbers from the closing prices this weekend.

It looks like to me that MU and WDC have some very good numbers compared to the other stocks in the table. How about AMD with a Price/Book of 16.70 and a Book value of -0.90 yet it is up over 70% since the first of the year.



Here is an excerpt from Investopedia about P/B. Based on this input MU and WDC would be of good value with their P/B values, but they are still tanking now. Information is needed as to their values at bottoms in the past.

What is considered a good price to book ratio?

It is difficult to pinpoint a specific numeric value and definitively declare it a "good" price-to-book (P/B) ratio, in terms of indicating a stock is undervalued and therefore a good investment. It is more helpful to identify some general parameters, or a range for P/B value, and then consider various other factors and valuation measures that more accurately interpret the P/B value and forecast a company's potential for growth.

The P/B ratio has been favored by value investors for decades and is widely used by market analysts. Traditionally, any value under 1.0 is considered a good P/B value, indicating a potentially undervalued stock. However, value investors often consider stocks with a P/B value under 3.0.
