Pete, It seems the real issue is whether or not P/Es are accurate. If they are, then paying 28 times earnings for the S&P 500 seems a bit ridiculous to me. A person in this month's Forbes cover story asserts that the actual P/E for the S&P 500 would be 35 if employee stock option compensation was expensed. forbes.com I think the real story is book value, though. After selling for 1 to 2 times book value through much of history, the market is now priced at a whopping 6 times book value. Wow, what a mania, IMHO. WS
