Do you think the valuations are more appropriate now? Well, right now the S&P has a price earnings ratio of about 22 compared to a historical average of about 14. And earnings may well come down. I heard this interview and was irritated that the interviewer did not question him about interest rates. Should we expect the market to always be overvalued if the P/E is greater than 14? Or is there a justification for higher stock prices if interest rates are at a historic low level. If I could get a C.D. for 13% like I could 20 years ago I sure would be pickier about what stocks I would buy and how much stock I would own. When people like Shiller ignore this data I question their logic.
