re: define "reasonable" valuation:

The general formula I use, (which I've used repeatedly on this and many other threads), is:

Fair Value = a stock price at a PEG of 1 = (forward 12M EPS) X (expected LT EPS growth rate).

The main problem with this method is, although I only have to plug in 2 variables, both of them are guesses.

I also like a stock to be at about the valuation (using PE, P/S, P/CF) it reached, at other times when it was out of favor.

So, for instance:

NTAP: 0.40 X 50 = 20
EMC: 1.00 X 35 = 35
CSCO: (in doubt) X (in doubt) = I'm waiting till the smoke clears on this one.

If I were to offer a guess, I'd venture that, as a result of a massive sector rotation, tech is currently very undervalued, and the bubble is in the "defensive" stocks.

UF, I agree. On net, I doubt that money is leaving the market on a large scale or on any sustained basis. To me that certainly would explain the low or no growth dow stocks holding up well during the tech wreck.
