[lbo-talk] Market question

[andie nachgeborenen]

For a paper I am thinking about how ERISA is bringing
the country and especially the working and middle
classes to the brink of and over the brink of
disaster, a question for Doug and all market mavenss:

Looking at the price/earnings and price/equity ratios
of stocks from 1970 until now, I need to know whether
they they've gone up substantially (and more
importantly, increasingly, i.e., at an increasing
rate, over those years), it contributes to
plausibility.  I'd especially be interested in finding
this out about stocks in different sectors, especially
the 'blue chips,' S&P, mid-caps, etc.  (Not so much by
type of company though, since these have changed in
terms of their growth rates over the years.)  Sources
for this would be helpful,

Thanks in advance.
