The Trillion Dollar question is….Is the stock market cheap or expensive? Is that close to the phrase “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder?” Unless you live under a rock, most are well aware then Ben Bernanke is stepping down and Janet Yellen is taking over as the new Fed Chairperson.
Doug Short put together a really sweet set of valuation tools that compare valuations when Ben stepped into office and now. 3 of the 4 valuation tools are higher, even though valuations weren’t cheap when Ben took over. The above chart reflects that on average, the market is 21% more expensive now.
Not too long after Ben took over in 2006, the market took a small dip. Will it be different this time? Stay tuned!
