Hulbert: Are Stocks Undervalued?

formatting link
Posted yesterday at Marketwatch.

Summary: based on current market's P/E - both trailing and forward, Hulbert suggests that the market is either fairly valued or undervalued.

Of course, it's a simplistic analysis, but it's worth considering.

It may not be useful to try market timing on a broader basis, but if you don't have your asset allocation where you think it ought to be, perhaps an article like this can be persuasive in helping one feel comfortable rebalancing.

Now if anyone out there is interested in convincing me to be more comfortable with Treasury bonds, I'd love to hear the arguments for them...

But the good feeling of putting economic capital to good use comes in when one picks a growing company with great products and management. That means new jobs for job-seekers, and customer satisfaction, new toys for employees' and your kiddies, optimism for the future and Republican political leadership. (Had to throw in something political.)

Yes there are many forces driving the market, and stocks do tend to correlate positively, so if you can buy a chronically undervalued stock at even lower prices, cool for the $$ aspects of it all. But the ball to keep your eye on is the financial report of the business.
