[Shiller PE10 & dividend yield is reported using data from the beginning or end of the month when I update.  It may or may not exactly be the first or last trading day of the month.]

9-1-25

S&P 500 Stock-earnings yield 2.57%

Bond rate 5.41%

Stock-earnings yield/bond yield = 47% of  present bond yield.

Dividend yield/bond yield = 22% of the present bond yield.

*Measured by valuations.  

Year 2000 Shiller PE peaked at 44.19 with a scant S&P 500 dividend yield at 1.11%.  This high Shiller PE and low dividend yield has not been surpassed since 1871.

Stock-earnings yield (December 1999) was 2.26%.  High grade corporate bonds were in the 7% range in abundance.  This would push my EYC ratio - [see Ben Graham's Corner] - to 0.36!  Anything below 0.50 is in crash alert range.    

***************************

It is easily seen in the year 2000 the Nasdaq was horribly overvalued and gold was on the give away table, such lopsided returns 25+ years later!
