So?
It was _overvalued for years_ before Trump took office.

AI Overview
The stock market has shown signs of extreme overvaluation, particularly
via metrics like the Shiller CAPE ratio hitting levels last seen in
2000, with valuation alarm bells ringing intensely since early
2024rCo2025. Historically, markets can stay "overvalued" for yearsrCoeven over a decaderCodue to momentum.
Key Points on Market Valuation Length
Current Intensity: By early 2026, indicators showed the market was more overvalued by "virtually every measure" than almost any time in U.S. history.
The "2000" Comparison: The CAPE ratio (cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings) recently reached highs similar to the 2000 dot-com bubble.
Long-Term Trend: While current levels are historic, stocks have frequently traded at multiyear high valuation gauges over the last 30 years due to tech growth.
Duration Myth: Markets do not immediately crash just because they are overvalued. They can remain in this state for extended periods; for example, the market stayed overvalued from 1954 to 1970.
Why It's Hard to Pinpoint "How Long"
Definitions Vary: What one analyst calls "overvalued," another may call "justified" due to high growth expectations (e.g., AI).
No Immediate Correction: Being overvalued has little predictive power for the next year, though it suggests lower returns over a ten-year horizon.
Cyclical Nature: We are currently in a high-valuation cycle similar to
1929, 1965, and 2000.
Ooops. I should have waited before posting. Looks like a "plunge
protection team" stepped in to help out the big tech oligarchs.

Stocks surged on Friday as technology stocks recovered following several
days of heavy selling in the sector and bitcoin
rebounded following a rout that took the popular cryptocurrency down
more than 50% at one point.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average
advanced 1,104 points, or 2.3%, exceeding the 50,000 level for the first
time ever and turning positive for the week. The S&P 500
jumped 1.8%, while the Nasdaq Composite
traded up 1.9%. With those moves, the S&P 500 climbed slightly back into
the green for 2026.
Even with FridayrCOs pop, the S&P 500 was still on pace for a 0.3% decline
for the week, while the Nasdaq is down about 2% on the week still. The 30-stock Dow, meanwhile, is sitting up 2% week to date, benefitting from
some rotation into some economically cyclical stocks even as the overall market was weighed down by tech selling.
Nvidia
and Broadcom
were two of the key winners Friday, with both increasing by 7%
following big declines earlier in the week. Other stocks such as Oracle
and Palantir Technologies
also bounced back as investors reconsidered some of the names at
cheaper levels. Oracle rose 3%, and Palantir was up by 4%. Some key
software stocks like ServiceNow
rCo which has been the epicenter of the tech sell-off because of an artificial intelligence disruption fear of software rCo remained weak on Friday, however.
rCLWerCOre in a gold rush right now with AI,rCY said Falcon Wealth Planning founder Gabriel Shahin.
rCLYou have the investment that Google is making, Nvidia is making, that
Meta is making, that Amazon is making. There is money that will be deployed,rCY he also said. rCLItrCOs just the carousel [of money movement] sometimes scares people.rCY
Shahin believes the market is in the midst of a rCLgreat recalibration,rCY where investors are going to move further out of growth stocks and into
value. Over the coming months, his bet is on large-cap value names. That played out Friday, with investors buying up shares in areas such as industrials and financials. In those sectors, Caterpillar
and Goldman Sachs
were standouts, supporting the DowrCOs outperformance with their rise of
6% and 4%, respectively. Small-cap stocks also saw a boost, with the
Russell 2000 index
rallying 3%.
Bitcoin recouped some losses Friday, adding 11% to reach back above
$70,000 after briefly sinking below $61,000 overnight to its lowest
level since October 2024 rCo more than 52% off from its record high of $126,000 hit in early October 2025. FridayrCOs move higher helped ease
some of the risk-off concerns among investors that recently plagued the broader market. The cryptocurrency has still lost 15% this week, however.
The week was bleak heading into Friday, with the S&P 500 on pace for its
worst week since last October and the Nasdaq Composite on track for its
worst week since the tariff-related market plunge of last April.
FridayrCOs pop pared those declines significantly.
Amazon
was an outlier Friday, as shares sank 7% after the e-commerce giant
posted earnings per share slightly under analyst expectations and told investors to expect $200 billion in capital expenditures this year.
