In this episode, I review the current stock market valuation using standard deviation to assess risk. With major indices trading at extreme levels, history suggests a correction could be imminent. Are we in for a market downturn, or is this just another dip before more gains? I break down the data and what it means for investors.
Here is some of what I cover:
- Dot-Com Bubble Collapse – How extreme valuations led to the Nasdaq crashing nearly 80% in 2000 and the lessons investors can learn.
- 2008 Financial Crisis – Overvaluation and excessive speculation drove markets to unsustainable highs before the crash—does this sound familiar today?
- Current Market Risks – The S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow, and TSX are all above +2 standard deviations—what this means for future returns.
- Investor Strategies – Why now may be the time to rebalance, take profits, or prepare for volatility before markets revert to the mean.
- What’s Next? – Markets always correct eventually. The question is when—and how severe the pullback will be.
