Just a quick comment: it seems that everybody “agrees” that the Covid-19 will have worse effects than 2008 crisis. In this case, should we look at similar or worse SET level. If we just look at the worse P/E level, he SET should trade at 650!!!

i think during times of crisis one should look at PBV more than PE as the E’s disappears.
And if you break down the market, outside the SET100 they are already trading at PBV levels below 2008.
