It looks a little better, apples to apples, but that's still DOUBLE the jump from 2011 to 2012, and it's still ~13% up.

I don't disagree with any of this.

That's always the rub - by the time the numbers are "real" (validated), we're in another cycle. Great for historians and accountants, but not to help anybody be proactive, right?

but I could show you Exxon,Chevron as 2 giants who are more than fairly valued based on earnings.


That's great and all but you do realize that Oil companies don't trade off of PE they trade off of EV/EBITDA.

The Great One has spoken again this morning...



It turns out that the preliminary numbers for June reported last month were actually legit.

Additionally, high prices were maintained into July, even as sales volume seems to have spiked.

I sure hope all those cash investors figure out what they're gonna do with all those purchased homes. It looks awfully bubbly out there.

NAR Existing Home Data
(Date = Price, Annualized Volume in Millions, Estimated Inventory)
2008-AVG = $198,100, 4.11, 10.4
2009-AVG = $172,500, 4.34, 8.8
2010-AVG = $172,900, 4.19, 9.4
2011-AVG = $166,100, 4.26, 8.3
2012-AVG = $176,800, 4.66, 5.9
June 2013 = $214,200, 5.08, 5.2 (preliminary numbers)
June 2013 = $214,000, 5.06, 5.1 (revised)
July 2013 = $213,500, 5.39, 5.1 (preliminary numbers)

Based on what metric? You may be correct. I'm just trying to learn something here.

I'm not nearly as business saavy as you, but I've noticed that some of the companies these talking heads are mentioning in a panic have recently reported some pretty respectable earnings. I'm going of the assumption than I'm probably missing something though.

I was basing it off the large number of stocks at a 52-week high. Some of that is based on earnings, but some of that is unbridled optimism. Unfortunately, even with good earnings, once that unbridled optimism wanes - well, we typically see a 10 to 12 percent dip in the market, overall, primarily on the backs of those stocks at the 52-week high mark.

Just as a rising tide lifts all boats, when the tide goes out, everybody is likewise, high and dry.
