Jason Zweig: When Cheaper P/E Ratios Mean Nothing

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.
