Shiller PE (1881 - 2016)

One of the primary weapons that rational bubblers use to back up their case is the Cyclically Adjusted Price Earnings (CAPE), a measure developed and popularized by Robert Shiller, Nobel prize winner...

Shiller PE (1961-1968, 1989-Aug. 2016), Ralph Gollner

...whose soothsaying credentials were amplified by his calls on the dot com and housing bubbles. For those who don’t quite grasp what the CAPE is, it is the conventional PE ratio for stocks, with two adjustments to the earnings. First, instead of using the most recent year’s earnings, it is computed as the average earnings over the prior ten years. Second, to ...

CAPE-Ratio vs. T.BOND PE

The current CAPE of 27.27 is well above the historic average of 16.06 and if you buy into the notion of mean reversion, the case makes itself, right? Not quite! (Status: 24th Aug. 2016)

CAPE-Ratio vs. T.BOND PE

As you can see, even within the CAPE story, there are holes, largely depending upon what time period you use for your averaging. Relative to the full history, the CAPE looks high today, but relative to the last 20 years, the story is much weaker. Contrary to popular view, mean reversion is very much in the eyes of the beholder.

Investing is relative, not absolute

S&P 500 (TTM/Trailing Twelve Month Earnings)

There are different sources regarding EPS-figures out there in the market. Here I want to show the EPS-figures, distributed by factset-research. Below following chart I will show then a longterm-P/E-history since 1990.

S&P 500 (Trailing Twelve Month Earnings), source: Factset (Aug. 2016)original chart-source: https://www.factset.com

Of course, one can see, that the market is currently not carrying a single-digit P/E-Ratio. Still, one has to think about the FED-Model and its implicit comparison between stocks and bonds. Bonds normally serve as the alternative to stocks - but with a bond-yield below the ...

S&P500 dividend yield vs. 30-year U.S Treasury bond

On 8th July 2016, the dividend yield on the S&P 500 was higher than the yield on the 30-year U.S Treasury bond for the first time since March of 2009 and this, of course, makes no logical sense at all...

US 30-year yield vs. S&P 500 Dividend yield

It is, however, a very positive sign for future U.S. equity market returns. On that day the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond fell to 2.10% , below the 2.14% dividend on the S&P 500.

The reason this is illogical is that it means investors were willing to lock in a smaller income stream in the bond, instead of the higher indicated ...

S&P 500, ROE & Price/Book-Ratio

Rule of 20 (PE of 18.9 reasonable?)
Status: June 2016

Many market commentators have been banging the drum about the stock market being overvalued for a long time and they primarily cite the almighty and high P/E ratio. But there is also the "famous (?) Rule of 20":

Rule of 20 (May 2016), Valuation S&P 500
Looking only at the "naked Price/Earnings" may only give you half the picture of the current possible "overvaluation" of the market. The current forward P/E-ratio of the S&P 500 is (slightly above) around 16.5; One should also remember the S&P 500-P/E-ratio/its post-recession low of 11.1 times in August 2011. That compares to ...

The Fed Model

The basic theoretical idea behind the model is simple. An investor faced with buying bonds or equities might choose between a 10-year U.S. Treasury yielding, say 5%, or buying an equity with an earnings yield (earnings/price) of 5%.

The Fed Model (1999-05/2016)

Roughly speaking, when the Treasury yield is below that of equities then it makes sense to buy equities, and vice versa.

The chart above compares the long-term performance of these two variables. As said: As a rough guide, when the earnings yield (in blue) is above the 10-year Treasury yield (in white) then equity markets are seen to be ...

EPS and S&P 500
(Earnings and the broad US-Stock Market)

Nobody knows why markets move as they on a day-to-day or month-to-month basis. But long-term returns hinge on earnings-per-share (EPS) growth & dividends, as can be seen below. "It's not the economy, stupid", but the earnings-per-share.

S&P 500 versus Actual and Estimated Earnings (1988-2014)

As one has been able to read in several studies from different sources, overall GDP growth seems to have no effect on long-term stock returns if it’s not accompanied by earnings-per-share growth and dividend growth.

In the two graphs above one could follow, that a Forward-EPS as per May 2016 of ...

Berkshire Hathaway (P/B-Valuation)
time period: 2000 - May 2016

In his book "One Up on Wall Street", Peter Lynch, maybe the best mutual fund manager ever, revealed a powerful charting tool that helped him to achieve a gain of 29.2% in his portfolios for 13 years.

Berkshire Hathaway (W. Buffet), 2000 - 2016 (versus Price-Book-Value 1.2)

In his chart, Peter Lynch drew the stock price and the earnings per share together and aligned the value of USD 1 in earnings per share to USD 15 in stock price. He wrote in pages 164-165 of the book:

"A quick way to tell if a stock is overpriced is to compare the price line to the earnings line. If you bought familiar growth ...

Price-Book-Value S&P 500 (history up to Aug. 2015)

Some investors put more "faith" in the Price/Book Value ratio than the P/E ratio when assessing the valuation of stocks or the stock market as a whole. As a result, Forbes conducted a historical review of Bloomberg data for the S&P 500.

Shiller PE-Ratio (Feb. 2016) vs. S&P 500/Market Timing

Following the idea  of a valuation-based market timing-model and tactical asset allocation models based on the Shiller PE ratio (PE10), the following model was tested for the time period 1988 up to 2015 (versus the S&P 500):

Shiller-PE Market Timing Model (1988 - 2015)The underlying logic for tactical strategy shifts is the current market valuation/Shiller PE Ratio (PE10) which leads to the dynamic allocation between stocks and bonds (1) 40% vs. 60%, (2) 60% vs. 40%, or (3) 80% stocks versus 20% bonds.

When Valuing Wall Street was published in March 2000, the following statement was set out on the cover of the book:

As a result, the Dow could easily plummet to 4,000 - or lower - losing more than 50% of its value wiping out nest eggs for millions of investors." So argue Andrew Smithers and Stephen Wright in Valuing Wall Street: Protecting Wealth in Turbulent Markets. Using the q ratio developed by Nobel Laureate James Tobin of Yale ...
