A Bottom??? Or Just A Bounce???
*******************************************
The New Lows To New Highs ratio is at such an extreme that we should be getting a bounce...
finance.yahoo.com

The SPX P/E came very close to that sub 800 fairer valuation estimate I made several months ago...
bigcharts.marketwatch.com

Current SPX reading: 816
Current P/E: 32.78
SPX/P/E ratio (816 / 32.78) = 24.893227

If we get a more fair valued P/E of 20 we get an SPX of (24.893227 * 20) = 497.86454

Add a 20% earnings growth factor to this and you get (1.2 * 497.86454) = 597.44

To me this means that even with a 20% eps forward looking growth rate for the S&P 500 and an above average P/E of 20, the current 800 levels are still too high... This may explain why foreign companies were expunged from the S&P 500... So, based on this train of thought, it looks like we are getting a rally within the confines of a bear market until the SPX falls below current levels...
