The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" 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.

Manlobbi,

When I first read your post, the impression I got was one of overwhelming bearishness. Probably not what you intended.

My point is that lower returns going forward does not mean stocks are overvalued. That lower returns are what we should rationally expect. So I agree with your 2nd post.

Grantham, Hussman, et all use the 6.5% real return as some sort of divine right that god bestowed upon investors and if expected returns are lower than that, stocks must be overvalued. I think that sort of thinking caused as much damage to investors as any of the ponzi/crypto/meme stock craziness.

Thank you!
