The best companies NEVER have "reasonable" valuations in ANY market.

Well, most of the "best" tech companies have certainly traded at P/E ratios that are less than half of their current values within the past five years, so I'm not sure if I agree with the above.

e.g. - Intel has traded at a P/E of 14, Cisco at 31, etc..

oh, i agree with your attitude. but there's a difference between valuations merely being 'not reasonable' and being 'utterly ridiculous' which is what they are now.

and it is btw. not true that they are never reasonable in any market...it's just that we haven't had a bear market for a long time. you'd be surprised how reasonable valuations can get.
