Earnings yield, not dividend yield, based on an estimated 2003 EPS for the SPX of about $42 FWIW

EDIT: I just checked the S&P site and they have $45 for 2003, basis a 'top down earnings as reported' estimate, but in my experience they are notoriously biased toward posting the upper end estimates.

Even the $42 is rather suspect IMO if we start to see signs of that weakening consumer we all think is lurking out there
