Is the valuation of the S&P 500 reasonable?

This looks like a reasonable #valuation for the S&P 500 and it wasn´t just caused by the drop in price but also the grow in earnings. If you combine that with the projected #earnings growth and the #technicalanalysis this suggests a #bullish environment | #ActiveInvesting https://t.co/eNnzdlgJp7

An example of an undervalued computer hard disk drive manufacturers stock

If you look at the valuation of Western Digital ($WDC) these days you will find that the stock is very undervalued. According to YahooFinance it has a PEG ratio (5 years) of 0.2 !

As regards technical performance, the stock has lagged behind lately and is currently trading below its 20, 50 and 100 days moving average:

Value investing requires patience: even though the stock is trading at a discount with regards to projected future earning, timing is of the essence and one would need to watch if the market recognizes the value of Western Digital before starting a position.
