Sharing is Caring!

The S&P 500 has reached an alarming 177% above its trend, setting a new record by the end of October. For perspective, in 1929 it peaked at 78% above trend, and in 2000 it hit 110%. This is a clear indication of market overheating.

  • Warren Buffett’s Selling Spree
    Berkshire Hathaway has been selling stocks for two years straight, with $34.6 billion in net sales during Q3 alone. This marks the 8th consecutive quarter of stock sales, signaling Buffett’s cautious approach amidst the market frenzy.
  • No Share Buybacks
    For the first time since 2018, Buffett’s firm did not repurchase any of its own shares. This is a rare move for the Oracle of Omaha, further signaling his concerns about the market’s valuation.
  • Consumer Sentiment vs. Stock Prices
    Consumer sentiment is at near all-time lows, yet the stock market and Bitcoin continue to hit record highs. This disconnect raises serious questions about the sustainability of these price levels.
  • At the Top of the Regression Channel
    The S&P 500 is currently sitting at the very top of its regression channel. This position historically signals potential market corrections, making the current levels precarious.
  • CAPE Ratio at Extreme Levels
    The Cyclically Adjusted Price Earnings (CAPE) ratio is almost 3 standard deviations above its historical mean. This suggests the market is significantly overvalued, increasing the likelihood of a downturn.
