The article argues that the market is currently exceptionally expensive by the CAPE (Shiller P/E) measure—around 41.1 vs a long-run average near 17.8—marking only the sixth time in 155 years that such elevated readings have occurred during a bull market.

History suggests such extremes can precede declines, though long-term investors have historically prospered by staying invested. The rally has been driven by AI, earnings, stock splits, and buybacks, but timing risk remains and a cautious, long-term approach is advised.
