The US stock market is officially more overvalued than ever. The Buffett Indicator (total market cap vs. GDP) just hit an all-time high of 232.6%, meaning stocks are trading at more than double the size of the actual economy.
Despite the "it'll only go higher" hype, the numbers show we’ve blown past the most famous bubbles in history:
2000 Dot-Com Bubble: 162.6% (Today is 70% higher)
2021 Frenzy: 218.7% (Today is 14% higher)
Current (2026): 232.6%
We are in uncharted territory. The gap between stock prices and economic reality has never been wider.
