<< should be trading at better than 25 times earnings >>

Why not? That implies a rate of return of around 4% and that's if earnings don't increase one nickle.

You can't get 4% in a savings account. Sure there's more risk, but there's upside as well, and upside is more likely. Loooong term, earnings will increase on average for the Dow stocks. So, that 4% improves over time.
