15 15 Investor Euphoria Denotes Tops

16 16 Feb. 2013 Valuations Suggest A Reversal Could Happen

17 MARKET RALLY DRIVEN BY P/E EXPANSION 17 DHEENU V. SIVALINGAM

18 Price/Earnings Ratio or PE  The price/earnings ratio or PE is a unit cost, much like the cost of a pound of coffee or a gallon of gas, which allows one to assess a price by comparing it with a typical, historical unit cost. You can certainly tell if a pound of coffee or gallon of gas is higher or lower than normal in price. In this case, it’s the cost of one dollar’s worth of that company’s earnings. PE expansion is an increase in that unit cost. 18

19 Assuming (Heroically) That All Things Stay The Same… 19

20 Market Cycles Defined By Valuations 20

21  Most investors do not see P/E expansion as the lion's share of the market's 1982-2000 gains; Instead, they credit a robust economy, technological advances, productivity gains, and (of course!) earnings improvement. And all those elements did have an obvious impact, but they were responsible for a small portion of the performance. The biggest contribution these four elements had was not to the bottom line; rather, it was to investor psyches that gradually became willing to spend more per dollar of earnings than they had before. These factors allowed investors to rationalize higher prices. Now = 15.1 21

22  Bull markets are periods of P/E expansion. During Bulls, investors are willing to pay increasingly more for each dollar of earnings;  Bear markets are periods of P/E contraction. Investors demand more earnings for each dollar of share price they are willing to pay.  History shows that when the inflation is very low or very high, or interest rates decline, or when the deficit goes down, the P/E usually expands. 22
