The exchange itself reports this data at nyse.com Here is what they are reporting as of today Monthly P/E Ratios for the NYSE Composite Stocks Date Jun-98 Jul-98 Aug-98 Sep-98 Oct-98 Nov-98 Dec-98 Jan-99 Feb-99 Mar-99 Apr-99 May-99 P/E 28.13 23.94 21.93 21.84 23.87 24.40 27.24 27.75 27.42 28.27 30.19 23.90 To figure it out yourself, you can't average an average. You would have to divide the total of the share prices of those stocks on the index by the total of the earnings of all the companies on the index. The earnings would be a fairly static number but the share prices would change daily. Good Luck, Lee
