Today, the S&P 500’s cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings ratio (CAPE) is nearing historic highs, signaling market valuations may be in overheated territory.

In December 2024, the S&P 500 CAPE ratio stood at 37.9—well above its long-term average of 17.6. Notably, it has only exceeded this level during the Dot-Com bubble and in 2021.

This graphic from Picton Mahoney Asset Management shows the S&P 500 CAPE ratio since 1920.

hard to believe that the drop was only 10 percent in 2000

I remember feeling very nervous in April 2000 and so many dot coms or bombs were imploding

was OP even alive in 2000 lol?

even 2022 wasn't so bad, -20%
Market reacted to inflation and interest rates, not even Cape being too high in 2021
