***8 A MONTANT GRIZZLY BEAR SIGHTING ****

FEBRUARY 19 ~ The mounting evidence is not about an impending correction or cyclical market downturn. It is about a major historical risk of a bear market, the likes of which we haven't seen since 1973-74 or longer. Taken individually, any of the technical warning flags might be of concern. Together, they are convincing proof that this is one of the highest-risk markets in a generation -- and that the final top may be at hand. That concern can only be heightened by an understanding of valuation levels. The DJIA would have to fall all the way to 4000 before the first of the three major valuation ratios (Price/Earnings, Price/Book Value, or Price/Dividend) returned to its 70-year average. Meanwhile, the message from OTC growth stocks is no less ominous. Final December figures from the Nasdaq came within a fraction of our projected yearend P/E of 93.5. We estimate that as of February 1, the P/E has moved up near 105. That's nosebleed territory!
