So will it pop?
What will cause it to pop?
How much further can it go up(or how far down?)

i have been wondering this for some time, but the market keeps going up, s&p 500 up 25% in last 12 months.
as long as retail investors keep piling money into the us markets, and everyone with a phone now has easy access to invest, it doesnt look like it will change anytime soon.
for those of us old enough to remember previous crashes, i think some people may be in for a bit of a shock when it happens, with these valuations we may well be in for a large correction.
i believe the US have put in place, to stop panic selling, if the market drops by a certain amount in a day, it stops trading, 7%, 13% and 20%, to try and prevent the major crashes we have seen in the past
i certainly have no idea, or what will happen afterwards, a stagnated market as between 2000 and 2009 or a bull run
when it does happen, dont sell, its actually the best to to keep investing

Yup, I do this and Iām also buying more value right now and holding cash outside 212 so less inclined to spend.
Buy the dips, and also buy value. There are some 10-14% yields out there where dividend cover is above 1.5x. Iām happy enough with that and will top up in the new year.
Itās a different one this, there are plenty articles that the markets are getting less efficient as more follow passive investing through ETFs that follow mcap. Somethings only worth what someone is willing to pay and more and more are investing in the US, so the metrics donāt quite make sense compared to say Europe or Asian investments. India should be one of not the fastest growing right now.

i have made some investments into india in the last couple of years, via mutual funds that have done well, my confidence in investing isnt that high at the moment, in this current climate.
what value stocks are the looking at?
Where do you find these yields? @Dougal1984
I believe the super bubble exists (passive investingā¦). It will pop eventually but I really donāt know when. I mean if Trump manages to reduce US debt without a recession over 1-2 terms I think the market will keep moving up. But itās a hard task, politically, socially, geopolitically, economicallyā¦
I read investor blogs, but donāt listen to them all.
Much more a fan of UKW though with its 8% yield and 20% discount to NAV. Iām monitoring both might buy back in but a lot of crossover in power prices.
GSF is fairly new so its dividend cover history doesnāt mean much as it builds up storage, but all covered in the article.
Weāre getting to a point when they can take advantage of fluctuations in power prices, something Tesla was involved in testing a pricing marketplace in the U.K.
interesting read, battery storage is definitely the way to go if we are going to become more reliant on renewable energy, personally i think the technology is still too much in its infancy for me to invest in.
ive looked at UKW and NESF, but has yet i have not got into either
The bubble pops when the orange turd sits on it. Every respected economist and even Dave down the pub is warning that the tariffs he is proposing will be as disastrous as his hair line.
Just remember āNever lose moneyā If you are down, donāt panic, research the balance sheets and debt load.
Ride out the storm to sunny uplands and free flowing wine or non alcoholic beverage of your choice.

Google tells me that the total US market cap is $55 trillion - half of the entire worldās total market cap ($111 trillion) - yikes!
Maybe the US is seen as the āsafeā place to invest or maybe this is just an indication of how overpriced it actually is!
Microsoft, Meta, Berkshire, Apple, Walmart, Goldmans, Alphabet, Exxon, Nvidia, Teslaā¦ - quite a bit of value there.
if the bubble never pops, was it ever a bubble in the first place
