But as the sibling comment and all the sources above say, those do not predict the path, only the destination (which is a decade or more in the future). It would be completely consistent with such macro valuation models if, for example, the general prices doubled or even quadrupled over the next year or two, why not. Stay safe out there :)
- gpt5 5y agoThese indicators are far more interesting and useful than crash/recession predictions. Being so highly correlated with subsequent market returns makes your choice simpler - you don't need to predict the crash, instead you can simply see your estimated returns in the next decade (currently negative). Whether the crash comes tomorrow or in 5 years is meaningless.
