Obama, today: "On the other hand, what you're now seeing is profit and earning ratios are starting to get to the point where buying stocks is a potentially good deal if you've got a long-term perspective on it."
Did he mean price-to-earnings ratio? The traditional definition of PE ratio?
If Bush had said the above, it would be ipso facto evidence of his idiocy.

Public Entitlement? Yes
The Public Entitlement Ratio is very high these days.....and climbing.....
Which really means stocks are not a good buy because they will continue to fall.
