Rare New Speculation (Posted Aug 30)
Wall Street has been in a bear market so long that some pundits are predicting the end of equities as an investment. The doom and gloom was palpable at the MoneyShow in San Francisco, Aug. 19-21. However, financial journalist Roger Lowenstein noted in yesterday's New York Times magazine that stocks now are selling at a reasonable 12 times earnings. In other words, while Treasuries are paying out a measly 3% a year in dividends, the average S&P 500 stock is paying out 8.5% in earnings.
