re: we should be doing our comps with 1972-3 valuations as well as 1991-2

Good idea, except that most of the companies in my portfolio, and on my wishlist, didn't exist in 1973. Their entire industries/sector didn't exist either, or existed in only embryonic form. There are zero historical data points to try to figure out what a reasonable P/S or P/CF or PE is for JDSU or QCOM or EMC during a global recession.

Sigh.
