When the Next Bear Market Begins, This Is the First Investing Move I'm Making

Yahoo Finance ·

With the S&P 500 ( ^GSPC +0.55% ) and Nasdaq Composite hitting all-time highs last week and the Dow Jones Industrial Average doing so the previous week, stock valuations have entered the danger zone. At only one other time in history has the Shiller P/E ratio been this high. This inflation-adjusted gauge, which looks at valuations over 10 years, stands today at 42.6. The only other time it was higher was in November 1999, when it hit 44.2. What followed was a nearly two-year bear market . The 12-month-trailing S&P 500 P/E ratio is also at its highest point since 2000 at 30, while the Nasdaq-100 is slightly above average at 29.7, but nowhere near the 78.2 it hit in 2002. The Shiller P/E has been a pretty reliable gauge over the years, as the market has suffered either a correction or bear market after it spiked in 1929, 1965, 1999, and 2021. While it is impossible to predict the future, knowledge of history can prepare us for any eventuality.

As the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite hit record highs, the Shiller P/E ratio surged to 42.6, the highest level since 1999. The 12-month trailing S&P 500 P/E ratio also hit 30, showing the highest valuation burden since 2000. Historically, such spikes in the Shiller P/E have invariably been followed by massive corrections or bear markets. Therefore, investors should proactively review thorough risk management and cash-securing strategies.

DYAX 전담 분석

With current valuations of the S&P 500 and Nasdaq approaching those of the 1999 dot-com bubble, the downside risks for the market are significantly heightened. A Shiller P/E of 42.6 strongly suggests the market may enter a prolonged correction phase, increasing downward pressure on asset prices.

In the bullish scenario, a liquidity-driven rally may persist for the time being, pushing indices higher, but in the bearish scenario, a sharp valuation convergence process could unfold based on historical statistics. The 12-month trailing P/E trends and interest rate volatility must be monitored as key indicators.
