Here's why PE ratio's matter as the following chart shows the return 10 years forward from the starting average PE i.e if the stock market is trading on an average PE of 27 than can basically be expected to go nowhere for the next 10 years. Whilst the lower the PE the higher the expected return (on average), where the safe zone for investing is at a starting PE of between 10 and 20.

The current PE ratios are :

DJIA 23.66
Dow Transports 57.25
Nasdaq 36.35
S&P500 31.41
AI portfolio Top 6 AI stocks 42

AI Sleepers 15.8
