Here's a quick note on the latest earnings forecasts from S&P. For 2009, it looks like the S&P 500 will earn $57.03 a share. A year ago, Goldman Sachs cut its 2009 EPS forecast from $53 to $40.

S&P's current forecast for 2010 EPS is $77.94. That means that the market is currently going for 13.6 times this year's earnings. If you compare that to AAA bond yields which are averaging about 5.3% now, I think stocks look very good here.
