>The blue-chip Standard & Poor's 500 index has dropped nearly 40% from its peak in March 2000, yet the average stock in the index is priced at about 19 times this year's expected earnings per share, by many Wall Street estimates. That is far above the historical average price-to-earnings ratio of about 14.< stockcharts.com[l,a]mhclyiay[d19950101,20021231][pb50!b200!d20,2!i!f][vc60][iUb14!Uk14!Ul14!Lp14,3,3!Lf!Lc20!Lah12,26,9]&pref=G So that leaves us with about a 25% drop ahead to get us to the historical PE ratio of 14 or a big acceleration in earnings to pull up those expectations to an actual PE ratio of 14. Thanks for the article and all the tables. RtS
