You can always offer your own view of direction and quantum rather than make disingenuous comment.That is the sort of information that could only come from the "Lemming Daily News". That will give us great buying oportunities on the way down if many lemmings follow that advice.
I seriously doubt BHP would get to that level or even a PE of 9.
I have posted at this site for several years, and have not been backward in making some "way out" forecasts in that time. They remain available at this site for anyone to throw bricks back at me. In fact, I specifically came onto this site to stir the pot in the "gold" thread over 2 years ago. At the time I had moderators and posters insisting I tone down my posts.
Last November in the "oil" thread I forecast an average price of $120 for 2008, and suggested it might be conservative. There's another 6 months to run on that one, but so far, so good.
If you want to challenge my capacity for analysis, please do so directly on this forum so that I can reply to you in a considered way.
Are we having capitulation right now??? All ords down over 100.
Fear in the air.

Still got a while to go yet
Check out these graphs
I would say fear brty not capitulation yet!
Oh and PS - If I look at an AllOrds chart from 94 to present, with a logarithmic price axis, the mean trend would appear to take us to fair value around 5000 (don't know how to post it here but easy to get the chart from yahoo finance and look).

Interesting graph Snakey,
It looks a lot like what happened between '82 and after the crash in '87. During that market, the all ords shot up from 450'ish to 2312 over 5 years. The fear, capitulation, despair phase took 3 months. From the top, the correction was 50%, but after a run up of 500%.
Currently, we have had a runup of ~230% over 4.75 years, yet the selloff of 28% has taken 8 months. You can read anything you like into charts, and always find something that looks 'similar', however they rarely conclude the same way.
I am currently looking for opportunities amongst large "solid" companies to invest, because if the worst were to happen, my money is safer there than in bank deposits.
Realistically and statistically, we are much closer to the bottom than many think. There is simply too much gloom and doom out there.

Interesting perception Wys.After a quiet period this forum has had old nicks return and new nicks joined.Maybe some confidence returning to the market.A 300 + on the dow might draw some attention though so we`ll see how much credibility there is to it all.
Interesting perception Wys.
I'm looking to total dispair/capitulation on volume as sign that the worst is factored in.
There will be a time soon with those who have keep some in reserve, or at least a pot of gold to margin off, will do very well in the years to come.
I don't think we are there yet, but it's probably not too far off in the grand scheme of things.
Just thinking out loud.....
If the reporting season in the USA is pretty much over, and if the DOW is to continue its downward spiral, what will be the major causative factors behind further drops, particularly in the short term?
Historical patterns?
Fear / sentiment?
Other?
