no it is it is not horribly valued. especiall;y when you think about the fact we are only just about where we were 14 years ago on an inflation adjusted basis only profits and interest rates are worlds apart now. profits have soared and rates are lower making tstocks a far better value today.
Overvalued compared to what? You need a comparison value to say it's overvalued.
Everyone has their own opinion of what a fair/expected/average value. Each of the talking heads loves to spout their views, and then the complete opposite pretty soon afterwards. Except for the doomers that think the economy is going down every minute of every day.
The market is a leading indicator, and the rest of the economy is still catching up.

if anything they are fairly valued.
But that was the year 2000, at the peak of the dot com bubble, when the markets really were over valued. According to the Shiller PE ratio, it is getting pretty high. http://www.multpl.com/shiller-pe/
The mean value over a century or more is 16.55. Right now it's over 26.
Isn't the stock market horribly overvalued? If you disagree, what are the fundamentals that are holding it up?
Your statement says that the stock market is under valued. Try not to use double negatives in your sentences in the future. It won't be detrimental to your point. Similarly, it will be helpful to your point.

The cleanest dirty shirt doesn't fly IMHO. IOW, just because EVERYTHING ELSE has been deliberately trashed/poisoned, doesn't make stocks/companies fairly valued/profitable.

not the case today.
I can't believe you spew out this delusional bullsh*t with a straight face mathjak107. You know interest rates were too low back then; that's how 'the market' was able to accomplish being FLAT since 2000!
The FED/USGovt/virtual taxpayer sees the forest for the trees: the digital welfare is exponentially costing way too much to society @ large.
