S&P500 P/E is Now 47.50

The average P/E ratio of the S&P500 companies is now around 48. This only for the companies with positive earnings. If we consider the companies with negative earnings, the P/E would be stratospheric.

Take a look at the historical evolution of the average P/E ratio showing the huge jumps since the great reflation of 2009:

August 4: 47.50
July 25: 49.02
July 7: 42.00
June 25: 43.23
May 23: 40.99
April 21: 16.44
April 15: 16.21


Current earnings do not justify the current prices. It is amazing that this market still goes up. Buyer beware!

I am tracking these prices at http://nexalogic.com/sp500.html. P/Es are those reported by Google.
