The stock market is 70% overvalued ... crash now inevitable





Author Charles Dickens' classic, A Tale of Two Cities, begins this way: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness ... ."

According to one stock market analytical firm, GMO, today's market behavior resembles Dickens' book, which was published in 1859 and was set during the time of the French Revolution some seven decades earlier.

As the firm noted, in recent days much of the investing and financial world was focused on a meeting in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, attended by Federal Reserve chairperson Janet Yellen. But GMO analysts were watching other things and events happening in the market.

In August, the firm noted in its monthly report – reproduced in part by Zero Hedge – that Shiller P/E, a respected metric for measuring U.S. equities valuation, surpassed 27. Given that normally its range is somewhere slightly above 16, it appears that valuations are looking a bit larger than they should be.

What's more, GMO noted, the last time the Shiller P/E was above 27 was in October 2007, "and we all know how that movie ended," the GMO report said.
 

'A tale of mediocrity, at best'

And though no one at the analytical firm is saying that the nation and the world are set to experience another Great Recession and near-meltdown of the global economic order – and nothing is written in stone saying that stocks are not allowed to become more expensive – "we continue to maintain our bias against U.S. stocks," the firm said in its report.

At the same time, the firm said, it was tracking a widening disconnect between fundamentals of the U.S. economy, corporate America and their stocks. "It really is a tale of two cities," the analytics firms said, "one of mediocre fundamentals versus a meteoric rise in markets."

In assembling some relevant metrics pertaining to the overall health of the economy and some top-line/bottom-line figures from the S&P 500 index, the firm looked at gross domestic product growth, productivity and household income, in addition to some others like revenue and earnings for U.S. stocks, just to round out the assessment.

"It is a tale of mediocrity, at best," the firm wrote in its report.

After that, analysts contrasted those metrics with actual market returns of the S&P 500 Index spanning the past five years. "Truly meteoric," the firm wrote, adding this caveat: "As an aside, we at GMO have always been leery of drawing too many investment conclusions from staring at economic data–we are more valuation-oriented, after all–but even we are struck by the divergence."

Cool

Right now the price value of bitcoin was very stable actually, so for the rich people or can't afford its a good chance for them to buy it, but for the ordinary people like me maybe few of bitcoin I can buy but not that big as the other's do. because the average of the users are continually increase together with the investors.

That is incomplete. If we are talking about Bitcoin solely as an investment then a stock market crash alone is not a reason enough to make Bitcoin a good investment. The price has to appreciate in fiat value and the Bitcoin economy should expand side by side with the influx of new users. That would make it a good investment. If the stock market crashes and Bitcoin also crashes then it would not be a good investment.

Because bitcoin can take a 20% hit like it did when the exchange was hacked and still get up. It is almost as high as it was then. $700 here we come at great speed. Lately the price has rocketed.
I wouldnt really say that the price has sky rocketed. the price has been stable at around 640 for quite some while now, even before the bitfinex fiasco the price was still only like high 600s. And i dont expect it to go above 700 anytime soon because everyone is waiting for price to increase just a little bit so they can dump their coins.

While I am happy that bitcoin might be an asset investors will seek in case of stock market crash.
At the same time, I don't want it to become flavor of the month and "buy some BTC now, dump later when stock market will recover" type of investment.
I am secretly waiting for round 2 of that 2008 economic crisis - this time it might start in Europe when Deutsche Bank will finally fall.
Because people keep saying about buy now or regret later seeing others getting rich, may influence people to become flavor of the month. We're waiting for increasing until the end of this year that might reach fantastic price like before. Yeah, bitcoin is a good investment now, the demand for it keep increase and next month price could be $700, hopefully.

I think the circumstances and any issues that bitcoin face today can be quite small, because believe it or not current bitcoin is getting stronger. from year to year bitcoin users continues to grow and evolve bitcoin to be very strong, and I think the prices will certainly rise, This is a very good investment and secure

We all hope for Bitcoin to increase whatever happens next. However, in case of an economic collapse, it can go wrong: people will want to have something that would exist even if paper money disappears (so Gold, Silver). We want our money to be safe.

The US is due for a recession. We've gone past the average number of years for a recession since the last one. Bitcoin may be a safer place to put money right now.
Bitcoin, along with a majority of precious metals and other tangible goods, are becoming more and more relevant and valuable compared to the fiat money we have today. With the housing market in another bubble and student debt in an equally large bubble, a recession is definitely on the way.

Bitcoin is a good investment without any time limitations. Now it seems to be a good investment compared to the past due to the gradual increase in the price without getting into a stable price for a long time. Unlike the time and price, users who understands the real potential of bitcoin consider it a good investment all time.

My answer is a yes. It is clear to us that the bitcoin price will increase over time but the problem is that we don't know when will that happen. That means bitcoin investment is only for those that is in it for the long haul and not for those that are expecting for a profit after a couple of months. Of course you can get profit after a couple of months but it's not that much. Just trust bitcoin, let the popularity of it grow, and see the price of it inflate.

Didn't you watch the markets recently? Because the price has already started growing and it has already crossed $650 and you are saying we don't know if when it will happen, so basically it is a good time for investing in bitcoin because we would probably see a good price till the end of this year and at the starting of next year, hopefully.

Bitcoin is a decent venture for the time being on the grounds that bitcoin is the budgetary resource that is performed simpler than whatever other money. Additionally bitcoin has been a standout amongst the most astounding coinage to watch in the historical backdrop of humanity and even the estimation of bitcoin is as solid as our trust furthermore great to contribute bitcoin now in light of the fact that the esteem is steady than the previous years.

Observe the crypto market now. Look at the price charts of major coins: ETH, LTC, Monero, Ripple, DASH, ETC, AUGUR.
All mentioned altcoins are in decline right now - everyone is dumping them to grab some BTC, we are entering bullish market.

price of BTC is still very low and still no so many people using Bitcoin.
I feel that each day wee are closer to our ultimate goal- to become mainstream and online standard for payments.
I'm sure that we will see it in the near future.
After that, just sky will be limit for Bitcoin.
Value of Bitcoin will raise a lot and many patient people in the bitcoin community will earn a lot.
Bitcoin will change lives pf many people around the world, it's inevitably.
Don't you think so?

Regardless of the stock market prices and crashes "and these crashes are inevitable all the time anyway" I think bitcoin is generally a good investment, The world economy improved after the previous economical crisis but still hasn't completely recovered and BTC is a safer investment for the current time than any fiat.
Bitcoins wll always be a good investment because the price of it can do allot of things you now and you can earn allot of money while you are doing
witht ebitcoin for sure!

Always people should invest in many products to reduce their investment risks in the long run. So bitcoins has given an another opportunity for investors, who can grow their money faster because of its more volatility. Also if someone doesn't want to do trading, then they can just hold on to it and after sometimes hoping it will give a excellent profit.
