if you look at some different companies in different industries, there are some that are selling very cheap.
Ford motor is selling for 4 times sales, and JPMorgan is going for 2 times revenues. some others are selling at 1 times sales.
if you compare these type of companies to residential real estate that sells for 10 times income, you are probably better off with the stocks and have fewer headaches.
but that doesn't mean there aren't other things going on with the markets. sometimes the price is a forward indicator of bad times ahead, which it might mean that car sales at Ford might not be that great 4 years from now. or there could be some type of landmine that hits down the road that we don't know about.
the thing about business is that things always change. one of the newest example is that there are less half as many dry cleaners now doing less business than 3 years ago. that is because more and more people stay home to work and they don't need to clean their suits and press their suits.
something with Starbucks, the offices have closed and the Starbucks near the offices have closed as well.
