There is no perfect valuation model.  Investors typically use a whole menu of valuation models to hopefully offset the limitations of any single model.  Equities certainly are cheaper than they were a month ago, but the big question for investors is whether they are cheap enough.  By one measure they certainly are cheap and that is relative to interest rates.  The question for investors is whether we have entered a prolonged period of muted valuations invalidating everyone’s current valuation models.  In today’s screencast a look at market valuations.
