If there is one lasting psychological effect, it's probably that the P/E will go up to a level consistent with other tech stocks that have similar growth rates However lasting, PE is influenced by perception of future earnings (and it's growth). Investors - right or wrong - have recently presumed that AAPL earnings growth will be modest. Someone like me who thinks it will contract eventually logically won't pay a high price (in terms of PE) to own the shares, while many on this board who are expecting notable earnings growth see the current PE as cheap.
