One more note on this chart. Look at 2008:Q1. Compare with 2011:Q2. The GDP number is almost identical, whereas every other metric in 2011 is stronger. Yet, look at the SPY level, we are lower in 2011:Q2 than in 2008:Q1.
Clearly there is something that is not captured by these fundamentals that is captured by price. It would be interesting to dig deeper - I am guessing business cycle, but that is far too vague...
I really like this chart.

Calibrated FV 1258.67. FV 1385.26.
Note that FV is going higher, calibrated FV is going higher, and the market is going lower. The market is probably wrong
Thanks. More interesting data to digest! I don't immediately see what you are saying, but I just looked at the data in a cursory way.Quote from kinggyppo:
looking at bls stats, we haven't had this type of gdp contraction ever. 4 straight quarters down, there was continuous growth for 10-20 years at a pop, then the 2008-2009 period, take a look.
