The SP500 Price Earnings Ratio is 30.8% higher than its historical median.

Household debt to GDP is 0.773, which is 25% higher than the historical median.

There is a lot of other stuff at play, but basically we have moderately high P/E and high household debt at the same time.

A lot of companies also have floating interest rates, which make already high debt levels even tougher to pay off.

No, a lot of small cap companies have floating interest rates.

CAPM models (which show valuations compared to 10 yr treasury rates) show were at least 20% undervalued still.

Also, yes household debt is at record levels, but so is household net worth. And debt to net worth is at the lowest levels it’s ever been.
