From SI today -- siliconinvestor.com "But the problem is the price-to-earnings ratio of the S&P 500 for the next 12 months is out of this world, hovering at a record 40, which leaves little room on the upside for further market appreciation. Stocks have traditionally recovered from recessions only after P/E ratios have sunk to extremely depressed levels. Rallies come more easily from lows. It just makes sense. " "The second-quarter earnings of the 500 companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 index are now expected to increase by only 1 percent after declining for the last five quarters. Early in the year, second-quarter earnings had been forecast to increase by nearly 10 percent, which shows the extent of the Street's optimism just a few months ago."
