Fastest Four: Stock Market Over-Valued?
Manage episode 504605206 series 3033836
Is today’s stock market priced too high? Economist Brian Wesbury, Chief Economist at First Trust Advisors, has been warning that the market is overvalued by roughly 40% based on his fair value model of the S&P 500.
In this week’s Fastest 4 Minutes in Finance, Scott Inman breaks down Wesbury’s analysis:
- Why rising Treasury yields could drag stock values lower
- Why First Trust has set a year-end S&P 500 target of 5,200 (a potential 19% drop)
- What AI, big tech, and other sectors may mean for long-term growth opportunities
Bottom line: Expect volatility in the coming months, but remember—the key is to stay invested for long-term growth while working with a financial advisor to make smart adjustments along the way.
