Martin,from my Cliggott post("Mr.Sunshine still sees Rain",comes this quote <<He predicts earnings in the next 12 months will sink as low as $37 per share of the S.& P. 500, compared with a high of $55 a share in 2000. Using a price-to-earnings ratio of 22, which he considers fair, given the current long-term interest rate of 4.52 percent on 10-year Treasury notes, he calculates that the S.& P.'s fair value now is only about 800.>> end quote.

Hot money is comparing to short term yields, longer term money to the longer term yields. The fed gauge the market relative to the 10 years treasuries. I must be "hot money" (g). By the way, MRK's story is even better than that since it pays a constantly increasing cash dividend and has in place a stream of stock buy back which in effect increases the after tax yield of MRK to more than 5%, that is yield, not earning power.
