Re: The Shiller P to E vs Trailing 12 months P to E for the S&P500

See the 3 peaks.

One in 1929. About 26.8.
One in 2000. If I recall it is 45
One in 2007. I think at 26.8
And one right now. At 26.8

So only in 2000 bubble was this ratio higher. In 1929 and 2007, prior to collapse, ratio same value as now.

Mean ratio 16.56
MEDIAN 16.

Plus more buybacks now. So earnings Pumped up.

Remember the 2000 peak in Shiller ratio? It is dwarfed by the 2002 peak. Can you say why?
Ditto 2007. That peak is dwarfed by peak in 2009. Can you say why?

If you can answer these questions, you are as good as the top 1 pct in investing. (I exaggerate. But the Shiller chart gives an excellent high level analysis of Market valuation. The MBAs are free to use jargon. Keep it simple).
