S&P 500 P/E Ratio

Below we have updated our S&P 500 P/E ratio charts.  As shown by the bottom chart, the P/E has been price driven in recent months, and has fallen quite a bit after this week's declines.  It currently stands 16.85.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference S&P 500 P/E Ratio:

Comments

Robert Shiller (of Irrational Exuberance fame) uses "real price" and "real earnings" to come up with a current P/E of 30 (or 28.5 after this week). On his scale, major market bottoms tend to happen at PEs of about 10.

Do you provide p/e charts for stocks? If so would you please let me know where I can find them on your website? What kind of service do you provide for individual investors?

So does it mean anything? Why are foreign P/E ratios (still) so much lower than in the U.S. even though they're expecting more growth and have recently had stock price surges?
