stock market Bears are eventually right, but if you invest according to them you lose out over time.

Google "Jeremy Grantham" sometime.

He's projected a doomsday market meltdown every year for the last 25 years. That's as long as I have known about him.

I bet this guy is selling gold and pushing emerging markets investments.

I don't agree that GMO is in the same category as this guy.

I think we are overdue for a correction but not 50-70%

You're probably right. They probably only sound the same.

"The market" is not overvalued. Have you not looked at earnings? There's only 3 sectors that didn't grow Small-caps got hammered but most people have no exposure to those share prices.



The three major indices all have PE ratios north of 20. Even with the high profits.

Correct because the most profitable names with the largest market caps are the only shares with enough liquidity to handle the volume of buying and selling by passive funds and market makers hedging options books. It's not your father's market where P/Es drive transactions.


ETA: These companies also have the largest buyback programs.

Is this the same guy's article from 2021 predicting the same thing?


But he was only a 29-year market vet then.

P/E is P/E you can dress it up, but you can’t change market fundamentals.

P/E is the most flawed valuation metric because of the dynamics I just explained. The floats aren’t even remotely similar to even the 90s.

Been hearing this stuff for the last 3 years.

Rates will cause crash
CC debt will cause crash
Housing prices will cause crash


The exact reason I'm not in finance, because I thought the CC debt coming out of Covid until now would have caused a pullback, but I would be wrong.



Right there with you.

No idea how the current valuations in the housing market have sustained themselves but here we are.

No one knows the future and predictive models don't predict.
