Ron, Think about it this way, I believe that the P/E Ratio of the market right before the 1929 crash was 21. On the S&P website, they offer quite a bit of free information. www2.standardandpoors.com This link will take you to the average P/E ratio of the market: www2.standardandpoors.com This link will take you to various S&P 500 statistics: www2.standardandpoors.com Edit: There is also a book by Robert Shiller called "Irrational Exuberance". In that book, Dr. Shiller has a graph that plots the P/E ratio vs. the ten year forward return. There is an inverse correlation to the two criteria. Dave
