<For the next 12 months, the collective earnings of the S&P 500 are expected to be $55 a share. Divide that by the index's current level of 965.8, and you get an earnings yield of 5.69%. That's well above the 4.69% rate being paid on 10-year Treasury bonds.>

the operative word being PAID. what's a better investment, 4.69% interest paid, or 5.69% in fantasy earnings "yield"? all those earnings are going to the bondholders anyway.

what a joke. people don't have a clue what investing means anymore.
