An “average US company” in today’s market should have an intrinsic P/E ratio of 16.92.

Now, no company is exactly “average”. But from this exercise we can see how different factors impact the intrinsic P/E:
A company with high ROE demands higher P/E.
A company with high growth demands higher P/E.
A company with high risk demands lower P/E.
etc.

Also, we can see how macro factors drive the intrinsic P/E:
Rising 10yr t-bond yield causes P/E to drop.
Market anxiety about a reversal of the FED liquidity paradigm may call for higher ERP, and causes P/E to drop.
etc.

Thanks for reading thus far!
If people find this type of content interesting/useful, I’ll do more of these in the future.

It is quite profitable to sell put #options for income. It is fairly passive, and if done correctly, there is actually very low risk. Here is how I do it.
Rule #1: Only do this for the companies I want to own, at a price I am willing to pay, and without blowing up the position size if assigned.
So I continuously do this on highest conviction #stocks, eg: $TSLA, $MSFT, $SE, $CRWD
Or the stocks at great value: $BABA, $FB

Strike price: Informed by valuation. Try to sell ATM for maximum time value if price is great. Otherwise 10% OTM. Do nothing if the stock price is rising.
Expiration: On average 4 weeks out. Longer expiry during market correction, shorter when the stock is consolidating.
