The latest issue of Barron’s magazine listed several signs indicating the stock market is cheap. 1) Equity PEs are low in relation to yields on treasury bonds; 2) The stock market as a percentage of GDP is at 60%, which is the lowest in over 15 years; 3) The S&P 500 is about 75% of the price of an ounce of gold versus an average 160% over the last 40 years; 4) there is $4 trillion of cash on the sidelines equating to about 1/2 the market cap of the U. S. stock market, which is twice as much as two years ago.
