The US Equity Market Valuation has hit the highest level ever recorded!

This combined metric includes P/E, Forward P/E, Shiller P/E, EV/EBITDA, Price-to-Book, Price-to-Sales, Q Ratio, Return on Equity (RoE), and the Warren Buffett Indicator. 

The US Equity Market Valuation metric has hit the 80% percentile 5 times since 1900. Each time this happened previously, US stock performance suffered underperformance for years.

Warren Buffet quotes:

- 1999: "Euphoria is the enemy." Dot-com crash followed. NASDAQ dropped over 70%.

- 2026: "Worse than 1999." Same warning, different year. What happens next?

Ferenc also shares a very special and personal 250th Independence Day message!

The US Stock Market has Never been this Expensive - Ferenc Shares Special 250th Independence Day Message!

The S&P 500 recently hit a new all time high. The index has doubled since 2023.The 30-year treasury recently exceeded 5%, the highest level since 2007. The bond yield has been increasing since 2020.The stock market has been led by a few tech companies. Stock prices are driven by sentiment. Sentiment can change quickly.Bond yields are rising due to federal debt. As long as the government continues to spend more than it receives, bond yields will keep increasing. Until Congress stops spending more than it receives, this will continue. There is no sign of this changing in the foreseeable future.Higher interest rates are typically bad for the stock market. Higher interest rates increase the costs to borrow and expand business. Profits typically decline.Both cannot continue rising long-term. My bet is the stock market will decline before the bond market. The bond market is significantly larger than the stock market. The driver of increased bond yields is not changing. This creates significant risk and opportunity.This is the Golden Era of Fixed Assets. Fixed index annuities are generating the highest returns in decades due to the higher bond yields.

The Stock Market and Bond Markets are Hitting Historical Records. Both Cannot Continue Long Term. Which Will Break Down First?

This is the Golden Era of Fixed Assets

Best index and income annuities available in my 27-year career!

- Highest returns ever seen: 7.5% - 15.5% average annual returns 10-20 years

- Up to 27% signing bonuses are available up to age 89 in most states.

- Highest guaranteed lifetime income

o 8-10% guaranteed annual income increase rollup

o Up to 45% bonus available in most states

Index (growth) annuity

- Strong upside potential gains

- No downside market risk

- Principal guaranteed

- Once gains locked in, become new principal

- Some products: can lock in gains at any time

- Tax-deferred growth: pay taxes on gains only when withdrawing funds



Common Misconception: If you want guarantees, you have to give up strong returns. Not true!

Annuities suffer from perception of poor performance.

If you choose a bad stock, do you blame the entire stock market?



Index Annuity Poor Performance Reasons

1. Caps and other limits

2. Wrong Indexes

3. Low interest rates when purchased



How do you avoid poor performance?

Independent agent

1. Access to nearly every product available, ensure best option

2. About 10% of agents/advisors are independent

3. If you met with an agent/advisor and were only shown one or two products, likely not independent

4. Product search: literally dozens of companies and 100's of products

- Most poor performers

- Choose strong performing indexes
