Interesting take on not selling. Although it doesn’t have the same impact on a stock’s price as buying, there is some correlation.

Hey Mike I just tried to send you a message from the “email us” form on your page but the form kept coming back so I suspect the page is broken. If you haven’t gotten my comment please contact me and I’ll send it directly.

Stocks have two components in the price …their business value and their speculative value. At the peak of a bubble the speculative values can get ridiculously high. Then the unavoidable crash occurs.

The P over E ratio might be a good measure of whether stocks are cheap. A P/E of 1 or less might be considered as cheap.

For example
RIM is at $67 with a P/E of 20…not cheap by a long shot.
POT is at $81 with a P/E of 12 ….still too expensive.
TD Bank is at $56 with a P/E of 11…also not cheap.

A large price drop on it’s own is too crude a measuring stick.

boca – I haven’t seen anything from Bernstein in a while. You would think now would be his time to shine.

CC – a lot of financial companies were valued based on their assets – which in some cases turned out to be worth a lot less than original assumed. The stock price is down and it isn’t on sale. Of course this doesn’t apply to all companies.
