Warren Buffett’s favourite valuation indicator flashes buy signal

The “Buffett Indicator” measures the ratio of the total value of the US stock market via the Wilshire 5000 Index divided by the dollar value of US gross domestic product. It stands at its lowest level since early September.

For its part, the indicator is still above levels it plumbed during past market bottoms, including the Covid-19 sell-off of early 2020, when it fell to nearly 100 per cent.

Other commonly used valuation gauges tell a similar story: The S&P 500, for example, now sits at 20.6 times forward earnings, down about 8 per cent from earlier this year, though still above the 10-year average of 18.6 times.

“The more sophisticated the system gets, the more the surprises can come out of left field.

That’s part of the stock market and that’s what makes it a good place to focus your efforts if you’ve got the proper temperament for it".

Warren Buffett Just Taught Us How to Manage Through a Bear Market. Here's the Lesson.

by Howard Smith

Key Points

The market may be coming out of correction territory for now, but market turbulence is likely far from over.

Raise some cash, pay down debt, and be patient during strong market periods.

One good rule of thumb is to buy or sell in thirds.

"People have emotions, but you got to check them at the door when you invest."

No one knows whether the market is going to drop, soar, or just tread water, at least in the near term.

Learn From Failure: “Don’t beat yourself up over past mistakes — learn at least a little from them and move on. It is never too late to improve.”

Measure Success Through Impact

“Greatness does not come about through accumulating great amounts of money, great amounts of publicity or great power in government.

When you help someone in any of thousands of ways, you help the world.

Kindness is costless but also priceless.

Whether you are religious or not, it’s hard to beat The Golden Rule as a guide to behavior.”

Ponder Your Legacy

Buffett talks about how FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, once revered by Americans in the 1930s, “became disgraced for misusing his post.

His advice: “Decide what you would like your obituary to say and live the life to deserve it … You will never be perfect, but you can always be better.”

Bet on America

“Our stock price will move capriciously, occasionally falling 50% or so as has happened three times in 60 years under present management.

Don’t despair; America will come back and so will Berkshire shares.”
