What date did you use for 03/26? Before or after the Iran war dip?
Honestly… at 33 bring on the crash. Would love to buy at the bottom for once
P/E ratio of modern 2020s companies do not care one bit about the P/E ratios of 1960s companies
Reversion to the mean is coming
“Trading Price” ?
That’s an arbitrary number.Â
Trading price is not the right metric to be using for the Y-Axis on the second graph, since it does not account for the number of shares. The correct Y-Axis is market cap, since that is the actual cost of the company.
Yay, The stock market is partying like it’s 1929.
Bring on the crash. Housing market too. Hope it all goes to shit
