>>I am trying to locate a historical study or chart which shows the range of S&P500 returns verses the P/E for the S&P500. In other words, what was the 5 year range of returns for the S&P500 from points in time when trailing P/E was around 10 -- compared to when it was around P/E 15. << One of the problems with a study of this sort is that the PE is affected by two things; the price and the earnings. A high PE does not always indicate a high price if earnings are temporarily depressed. That was the case in the early 90s. Similarly, a low PE could result from peak earnings and not indicate that the market is cheap. Wayne
