| The US market is woefully over-valued based upon a host of metrics.  NOT included in the illustration is the Price to Sales ratio (my favorite) and Earnings Yield.  The latter is the reciprocal of the PE, the 3rd lowest in 145 years and useful in comparing with alternatives. The earnings yield presently is 100 basis points below the yield on a near risk-free 10 year T-Bond.  Itself recently started RISING after declining since Trump assumed the office.  The bond market, particularly Treasuries, dwarfs the stock market. 
 In other words, the stock market is expensive and personally expecting an 18 month bear market.  IF this proves to be the case, it has bearing on distribution of stocks.  So, I've given more attention to foreign stocks.  I'm sharing the charts on three as well as demonstrating a stock, Sea Limited, a Singapore
 company and has broke trend.  NO longer a "Teddy:.
