Something I regularly track are the P/E valuations on major indexes. They were doing just great until huge firms started missing numbers. Now they are extremely over inflated. The P/E in the DJIA more than doubled (from 18 to 46) as many companies lost tons (in the literal sense) of money this last quarter.
The 30 components in the DJIA provide a sample for what might happen to the Nasdaq.

Excellent highlighting of why PE ratios are so problematic in bear markets. Keep up the good work.
