We Are Living in Historic Times — And Most Investors Don’t Realize It
Valuations are stretched, inflation remains stubborn, and the global financial system is showing signs of strain not seen in decades. Yet many retirement portfolios today look almost identical to those held during the last great bubbles — right before major market resets changed the paths of millions of investors.
Before taking this diagnostic, you may want to explore a few key pages that put today’s environment into perspective:
- We Are Living in Historic Times — why this cycle is unlike anything we’ve seen in the last 40 years.
- The Buffett Indicator — the long-term valuation metric now sitting at levels historically associated with major resets.
- Life-Changing Decisions — what happens when two investors face a market reset with two very different strategies.
Once you’ve explored those insights, take the short assessment below to see how prepared you may be for the next major shift — and what steps could help protect and strengthen your retirement future.
