HOWEVER, there are other ways of measuring long term value. The equity premia of stocks--the extra return you get for investing in stocks over bonds--is high right now (4-5%) which implies that the stock prices have to rise to bring it back to historical levels. In other words, using the long run releationship between stocks and bonds, rather than stocks and earnings, says that stocks are under-valued.

is the stock market over-valued?
In the long run, stock price should equal the expected discounted flow of future earnings. However, it is difficult to measure these earnings. Robert Shiller uses a ten year lag of inflation adjusted earnings to determine whether a stock's price is too high or low, called CAPE (wikipedia link). According to this measure the stock market is still over valued relative to its earnings.

I don’t really know, but I personally feel it’s far better to trade on currency pairs since they are under-value and can be worked out with low investment too, therefore works very nicely. I am trading with OctaFX broker and they are outstanding broker to work with due to having classic service with low spreads from 0.2 pips, high leverage up to 1.500 while there is also smooth trading platform where all my trading orders are executed instantly without delay or re-quotes.
