Mike, could you please tell me the difference between a stock and a bond-g- On one of the gold threads someone quoted Bob Rubin saying the IMF could not sell their and be credible. I'm paraphrasing but that was the gist of it. Mike

MB and All, IMHO, today I saw one of the most ridiculous examples of hyping this market that I have heard yet. There was a report today that was actually touting how incredibly underpriced many industry groups are when compared relative to the the S&P. Did anyone else see it ? I here talk about stocks selling under a market multiple all the time, but this seemed to take it to a new level. The impression it left was that many stocks are incredibly cheap. The logic went something like this. If tulip bulb A is selling for $1000, then B selling for $500 is way undervalued because it sold for $10 back when A was selling for $5. Of course, they didn't say it that way. They just showed the huge percentages that stocks are undervalued by. I wonder if they used forward PEs in their calculations ? <g> WS
