There is a relationship between inflation, interest rates and P/E ratios. The coming decade will be one of low inflation and to expect P/Es below 10 or even 15 is, IMO, unrealistic. It depends on where GDP is. If low inflation is accompanied by poor economic growth, then P/Es can easily be that low. If economic growth is high and inflation low, then you're right, it is unrealistic. Additoinally, I would say that predicting inflation for the coming decade is right near impossible.
