Stock Market - SANITY CHECK?

When will everyone jump out in order to beat the rush of everyone else jumping out in anticipation of Y2K?

I definitely will lighten my stock portfolio next spring.

Re: Economy & Investing Climate

The market is very high in P.E. terms now historically.

That may be because the averages (even the NASDAQ) are distorted, because they are determined largely by a handful of very large firms. The stocks I hold (with the exception of a couple of drug stocks) all have historically very LOW p.e.'s -- and very low prices, boo hoo, despite excellent balance sheets...

Maybe buyers will wise up someday, and stop chasing after the already super-high-PE stocks...
