Ny rekord for Buffet indikatoren
The Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index climbed as high as $44.3 trillion on Tuesday, while the latest estimate for first-quarter GDP is $22.1 trillion, putting the Buffett indicator at 200%. That reading is well above the 187% it reached in the second quarter of 2020, when the pandemic was in full swing and GDP was about 12% lower.
Buffett trumpeted his namesake gauge in a Fortune magazine article in 2001, calling it “probably the best single measure of where valuations stand at any given moment.”
