Have a heart Pankaj ... PE levels of 7-10 should correspond with Sensex around 3000-4000 (quick guess).

Well Current PE is 15-18 for nifty and sensex. My guess is that 10 would be around 8600. May be wrong. Statistics was never my strong point.
Is it pessimistic for those who are waiting in the sidelines to invest. I assume that mostly people would have got out by now except for long term investing. Say , if they invested arount 2004 June They would be still inprofit. The danger is that they will also come for selling to protect their profit.
So as for investment a reasonable PE of 11 and fantastic PE of 7 is something to be desired. FIIs would not like that because their current investments would leave them a lot to be answered to their investors..
We need that confirmation to get in. So that was an optimistic statement. If we had no hope for the market many perople would not have cited mouthwatering valuations for many of the front line companies.
In fact, now the idea is to get as much as possible on a long term basis out of this downturn. Surely it is not going to last that long as many would have wished.
