News this week that inflation eased more than expected in October solidified the view that the Federal Reserve is done with its most aggressive rate-hike campaign in four decades.

And that could be a boon for the stock market and your 401(k).

    So you sent me down a rabbit hole and I agree with you. I think the market is overvalued. For me the question is now what does that mean and I see three possible options: 1) market trends down to equilibrium 2) market quickly drops to equilibrium & 3) market over corrects and goes below equilibrium. It looks like from the great recession until 2015 we were under valued and valuation has spiked since then except for the COVID drop, which brought us again to equilibrium. I think #2 is the most likely scenario. I’m not going to pull my retirement accounts out but I’m going to keep an eye on this. Thanks for the heads up
