> The Buffett Indicator, a ratio that measures the market cap of the entire stock market against the GDP of the United States, has hit a record of ~232%. Historically, anything above ~120% is a signal of the market being overvalued.

So nearly 2x over-valued. A market correction would take that to ~0.5x possibly, so a loss (for those getting in now) of 75% is on the cards.

It seems like of the most outdated and inflexible indicators that's widely used though? Does not account that a much higher proportion of the US economy might be represented in the stock market and that US service companies are generating massive revenue outside of US (in some cases the majority). That wasn't the case 50 years ago.

It's been over 120% since 2013. You can spend your entire earning career waiting for a crash

In the aftermarth of 2008 it bottomed out about 70%, similar after the dot-com crash in 2000. Before 1995 those were "bubble peaks"

I'm not convinced "historically" means anything in a globalised world that's very different to 50 years ago
