Warren Buffett's time-tested stock market gauge just surged to an all-time high of 232.1%, showing that US stock valuations have reached extreme levels.
Historically, such elevated Buffett indicator levels have been precursors to market downturns. In the late 1960s, Buffett's indicator approached similarly high levels, as it did in 2000 during the dot-com bubble, and again in late 2021. After the 2021 peak of 197%, the US stock market experienced a prolonged bear market. Similarly, when the indicator hit 190% during the dot-com bubble, the market subsequently declined sharply.
