The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

My estimate. There are 11 valuation bins, and the 12 breakpoints (using standard CAPE since 1995) are:

  date   CAPE   pctRank
1999.12 44.20 100%
1999.09 41.32 95%
2022.04 33.89 85%
2023.07 30.89 75%
2022.07 29.00 65%
2006.12 27.28 56%
2006.03 26.33 46%
2014.08 25.62 36%
1995.09 23.95 26%
2011.06 22.10 16%
1995.01 20.22 6%
2009.03 13.32 0%

2023.09 30.81 75%


We are now about at the 75% rank, close to the breakpoint between the 3rd and 4th most expensive bins (out of 11 bins total).
