list some limitations to it and/or times when it tends to break down. GO.作者: former 时间: 2011-7-11 19:23
and if the Fed Model= 4 and the SP earnings yield is 7, do you buy stocks or short em? huh huh?作者: lcai 时间: 2011-7-11 19:23
nice work!
LIMITATIONS:
1. ignores equity risk premium
2. ignores earnings growth
3. compares a real variable to a nominal variable
BREAKDOWN:
- when inflation is very low
- when consumer prices are stagnant and deflation threatens (relationship b/t stock market valuation and bond yields becomes ambiguous)作者: Chuckrox 时间: 2011-7-11 19:23
nah remember this calculates the equilibrium yield. i cant find a way to logicaly remember this so I just remember this as being one of the few times where if the SP yield is higher than the FEd, it means invest in the SP because they are undervalued. go figure.
edit: banni no offense but i thought you were an indian dude for some reason.

hmm, ok. i guess i can talk myself into that making sense... so i have some stock that should yield me 4% and yields me 7%... winner, i'll take it! i'm sure someone smart here can tell me the real reason why this is. i thank you SkipE for adding this and i will nail it on exam day if it's a simple q like that giving the 2 #'s.作者: Valores 时间: 2011-7-11 19:23
haha skipE, now you know that isn't even close to true! i've met pinkman before, so he knows it's not true either. the rest of you can think whatever you want.作者: ohai 时间: 2011-7-11 19:23
i think of this one in present terms....the FED is offering you 0% on your money market so invest in S&P with yield of 2%+ b/c they are deemed undervalued作者: lcw77 时间: 2011-7-11 19:23
OK. Example.
S&P Earnings Yield = 7%
Treasury Yield = 4%
S&P 500 Index = 1000 (for simplicity's sake)
S&P 500 Index Earnings = 70
The Fed Model assumes that the S&P Earnings Yield is equal to the Treasury Yield.
