Fear + Greed: is the market overvalued?
Last year, the S&P/ASX 200 Index, along with many of its largest companies, reached multiple record highs. This raises the question – is the market now overvalued? And if so, is a correction imminent? I joined Sean Aylmer on the Fear + Greed podcast to explore these questions. Looking at traditional indicators like the price-to-book ratio and the CAPE Shiller P/E, the market does appear overvalued. However, a deeper analysis suggests that valuations might not be as stretched as they seem, or that there are valid reasons for some ratios to be elevated. As long as disinflation continues alongside positive economic growth, I believe quality companies will continue to perform well. Listen to the full podcast below:
