What about the bond market thats been in bull territory since 1982, a whole 36 years. Interest rates are at historic lows , they can only go one way back up. So stocks are risky (albeit its only really the US in this long bull market), so are bonds except very short duration bonds, so is property all over the developed world. Whats not in a bull market? emerging markets are not, precious metals are not, commodities are not , european markerts are not really either, maybe sterling. So are you suggesting investing in these instead
Well european and emerging markets are having a bad time now, (they are definitely not in a bull market) while the US market is at all time highs along with a very strong dollar. I have very few US stocks now, had been selling them down to focus on europe and emerging markets etfs and Uk investment trusts. The markets are telling me im wrong but I still think this is a sensible strategy. Its only the US markets that are in this decade long bull market also the bond markets are still sucking in huge money even tough they are at the lowest interest rates in history. Maybe Im wrong but I dont think so.

The current raging bull market is exclusively a U. S phenomenon.
European stoxx 600 hasn't made new highs in nearly three and a half years.
But the tech stocks in 2001 were largely joke companies built on nothing.
Perhaps the US is expensive and Europe is cheap because the former has the greatest and most innovative companies on the planet?

Companies like Amazon hardly have feet of clay.
Just because we had a financial crisis now everyone thinks they can call the next collapse.
