What makes the bull market run

Article Abstract:

University of Pennsylvania finance professor Jeremy Siegel may provide reasons why stock market investors should not unduly worry about record highs. Some critics argue the stock market is overvalued because the price to earnings ratios for the Standard and Poor's 500 is 30 to 1, twice as high as averages in the 75 years since 1925. Siegel claims the long term value of stocks is greater than bonds, and that bond investments are ultimately more risky. Siegel's work may have influenced US Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan.
