                                      <![CDATA[Despite an S&amp;P 500 price advance of 13% YTD, nearly 20% since mid-November, and almost 140% since this bull market started, EPS growth has kept pace over the long term. As a result, P/E ratios, based on trailing or projected EPS remain below average.
•	The S&amp;P 500 is trading at an 11% discount to the average projected 12-month P/E on operating EPS since 2000, and would be trading near 1820 if its multiple equaled the 13-year average of 16.2X.
•	At 15.4X trailing 12-month operating EPS, the S&amp;P 500 is trading at a 13% discount to its median multiple of 17.8X over the past quarter century.
•	Even using the more inclusive trailing 12-month GAAP EPS, the S&amp;P 500 is trading at a multiple of 18.3X, which is an 8% discount to its 25-year median.
•	Finally, the current trailing GAAP P/E is 7% below the average of 20X seen whenever inflation has been in the second lowest quintile since 1948.
We therefore think that even though valuations are no longer as compelling as they were just a year ago, they remain appealing whether you look to trailing or forward, operating, or GAAP EPS for the S&amp;P 500.]]>
