Abstract
Jeremy J. Siegel questioned Standard & Poor’s methodology regarding the earnings calculation of the S&P 500 Index, arguing that it gave far too much influence to firms with big losses and low market values, and thereby gave a distorted valuation to the S&P 500 Index. While Siegel’s arguments are understandable from an investor’s point of view, his suggestions on how to address the issue are questionable.
