Today the DAX has reached a 20% return since its February lows. Therefore entering what is known as a bull market. It is also trading at a price/earnings ratio of 23.87 with a dividend yield of 2.90. Whether that is cheap or not I will leave to the pro stock pickers. That dividend yield is the be all and end all as to why we are have entered this bull market. The regular "bond and stock" portfolio investor is being forced to chase income, yield, returns of any sought. Which can not be found in bonds.
