This morning, Nov 3, 1997 signed on to Briefing.com. Their daily brief states that the S&P 500 closed on Fri Oct 31 at a p/e of 22.6. Yesterday, I specifically heard BB say that the S&P was at a multiple of 19. I know that BB uses operating earnings and that Briefing was probably using net earnings. Does anyone know where we might be able to find updated S&P 500 earnings data ( either operating or net ) so that we can keep an eye on the market multiple ourselves w/o having to rely on random announcements on the radio or from analysts. This is important, according to BB, because he has said that the S&P has never exceeded 22 (price/operating earnings). BB won't tell how he gets his operating earnings number.
