Tech P/E's high, should you buy? News of rally could hurt long-term investors By Paul B. Farrell, CBS.MarketWatch.com Last Update: 12:09 AM ET March 15, 2002 marketwatch.com LOS ANGELES (CBS.MW) - Spring's in the air... Inventories are down, factory orders are up, Lent's about over and the Easter Bunny's coming. Treasury Secretary O'Neill says the recession is not only over -- it never happened. The country's almost back to "normal" and the recent tech rally's ushering in a new "baby bull." So tech's hot again. So what! The average Main Street investor should ignore the tech rally. You, me and today's hot news Journalists monitor breaking news all day. Our radars are constantly scanning the horizon for information that will directly or indirectly impact investors. That means reading newspapers, staying current on key financial and political periodicals -- even watching daily financial reports on cable news. In many ways our search is no different than what Main Street investors do. First question you and I must ask Whenever I see short-term breaking news on the market and the economy, my mind automatically asks, should this change the decision-making of America's long-term investors? More specifically, should a passive long-term investor do something as a result of this information? Can it help them make better decisions? Or should I warn them to ignore the information?
