Cheap, no bargain

Article Abstract:

There are 65% of stocks from the All-Share index that are not in the technology, media and telecoms sectors, and they have a 3.1% net dividend yield. This gives a gilt-dividend yield ratio at a little less than 1.6, under the long-term average. Yet one should not assume that stocks are cheap because of this. Valuations may also reflect past trends, and cheap stocks will not necessarily rise. There are reasons for retaining old-economy stocks. such as hedging against a drop in price for new economy stocks.
