Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: As of June 30, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices, the stocks in the S&P 500 index traded at a price/earnings ratio of 23.56 — meaning that their combined price was almost 24 times the net earnings all those companies had generated over the past year.
