Yardeni has more detailed price-earnings graphs for the S&P at his web site on Stock valuations. The valuation model on S&P price versus earnings is interesting. There is a trading channel that can be discerned from the P/E at which we're now at the upper end of the channel. The channel would range from the high teens, 17-19 to 30-32 which is where the market currently stands. I believe the Federal Reserve valuation model for the S&P (which is available at the same site) would place fair value at a P/E of 18. The following Adobe Acrobat file contains the price-earnings graphs for the S&P.

Also, the earnings growth has been deteriorating since late '97 / early '98 as you noted in your observation of the DP chart. This tends to precede a major market downturn and an economic downturn by a couple years or more.
