Market Notes

From Tim Wood:
“At the 1932 bear market bottom the yield was 10.50% and the P/E was just under 10. At the 1942 bear market bottom the yield was 8.71% and the P/E was 7.3. At the next great bear market bottom in 1974 the yield was 5.9% and with a P/E of 7.24. If we take this same reading at the 1982 low the yield was 6.2% and the P/E was 6.9. For the record, these P/E ratios are based on Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and not the bogus George Orwellian methods of today. At the 2009 low, the P/E was 26 with a dividend yield of 3.2, which is hardly at par. Therefore, based on this historical measure, there is also no indication that the 2009 low marked the bear market bottom. It is for this reason along with the historical bull and bear market relationship issues covered in the last post here that I continue to believe the rally out of the March 2009 low is a longer-term bear market rally much like was seen between 1966 and 1974.”

Useful Windows Command Tools

I just found some useful windows tools you can use from the command line:

1. Tasklist: Allows you to see the list of tasks running on your local computer or on a remote computer. For instance, you can run:

Tasklist /S [computer name] /U [user name] /P [user password]

If you have Administrative rights, you can run it to see the tasks another user is running on another computer on your LAN.

2. Taskkill: Allows you to kill a remote task (process) running on your local computer or on a remote computer on the network (LAN). You can run:

Taskkill /S [computer name] /U [user name] /P [user password] /PID [process id number]

This is very handy if a remote computer is stuck and you cannot login to it.

3. Logoff: This is very handy if you want to use Terminal Services and all the sessions are used. You can logoff another user who has left his session open.

LOGOFF [sessionname | sessionid] [/SERVER:servername] [/V]
