Brian Frank: Stock Market Valuations Have Meant Nothing For 10 Years — Here’s Why That’s Changed

FYI: So you’re an investor who believes in owning stocks for the long run.

You’ve more than tripled your money in 10 years by investing in broad U.S. stock market index funds, having weathered a potential double-dip recession (2010), the fiscal cliff (2012-2013), energy-bond volatility (2015) and a transition from presidents Obama to Trump (2016-2017). Nice work!

While inaction has been the best course of action since the bull market in U.S. stocks began in early 2009, the risks have now piled up. According to my research, there’s a chance of near-zero returns for most stocks during the next 10 years and a very high likelihood of a 50% collapse at some point.
Regards,
Ted
