Goldman Sachs suggests that relative to the current macroeconomic backdrop, US stocks are overvalued by 40%.
All stocks on Wall Street are BS. It is always churning to make money for market makers and CEOs. Look at any stock price. It is multiples of earning potential. In layman's term, any stock is worth 3-4x of its earning at least per Wall Street.

You would never buy anything except stock with that kind of valuation. Bond or saving is not worth 3-4x in price relative to its interest rate like stock.

Stocks are heading for a correction pretty much no matter what. You can just get a money mkt fund rate of over 6% and youre done. Theres no reason to risk money on premium if risk free rate is already that high

Here is the kicker. It is a rigged game, but you are forced to participate. Do you want some little crumbs for your retirement saving? Then you need to get in and let Wall Street skim some money off you. Congress critters and rich friends know when to get in and out. They need bag holders. You are it.

It is an unfair game but to be fair alot of people just do it upon themselves. Most funds will leave you much better off than you started from

Yes. They have to give you a little of something. They can't force you in a system and lose everything. Inflation on one side and the gov tax system on the other side, you have to do something to survive. What if you are unlucky and retire at the time the stock market is going down for 10 years long...that would be the worst case scenario.

They would proxy war somewhere else before going that long.
