Extended read

The crossing of the CAPE 40 threshold is a rare technical signal of extreme overvaluation. While the 'Magnificent Seven' and AI hyperscalers provide a more robust earnings base than the speculative firms of the late 90s, the lack of margin for error is evident. Investors are increasingly looking toward dividend-paying defensive stocks like PG and KO as a hedge against a potential correction.
