US large-cap equities do not look like a bubble at current forward valuations. The S&P 500 forward P/E is below both its five- and ten-year averages, while tech and momentum have suffered their worst five-month decline by far. x.com 

S&P 500 earnings are keeping pace with prices, so this does not look like a bubble. Quarterly earnings are on track to grow 29.5%, more than twice the 10-year average of 12.6%, while the 18.7 forward P/E is just below its 19.1 decade average. x.com 

US large-cap equities are vulnerable because earnings have not caught up with total market capitalization. The market is farther from its 200-week moving average than at any point in 18 years, and cracks are starting to show; staying bullish ignores these risks. Rate hikes remain possible, oil is still high, and yields may climb again, so now is the time for caution. x.com  x.com 

Rising S&P earnings revisions and a Nasdaq valuation far below the 2000 bubble level argue against a bull trap in US large caps. Nasdaq trades at 18x forward earnings versus over 80x in 2000. Positive breadth divergences, record short ETF exposure and put volume, and semiconductors waking up add to the case. In all 19 post-midterm instances cited, markets were very green over the following 12 months. x.com  x.com 

Strong corporate profit margins may make the S&P 500 better value than traditional P/E ratios suggest, despite elevated stock prices. Per Bloomberg, its P/E-to-profitability ratio is at its lowest in nearly 14 years, last seen around 2012. Wall Street might be overlooking something important. x.com 

US large-cap stocks are frothy and now need years of earnings to validate today's prices, even though the rally is not irrational. Per FactSet, S&P 500 earnings are up about 28% versus 13% expected, but the Shiller P/E is near 42, close to 1999-2001 extremes. Per @KobeissiLetter, leveraged ETF assets hit a record $177B and the leading-to-coincident indicator ratio of 0.84 matches the 2008 low; per @charliebilello, 90+ day delinquencies hit 13.1% for credit cards and 5.6% for auto loans. x.com  … Show more

Improving breadth and GPUs massively outrunning depreciation costs put US-equity risk/reward heavily in bulls' favour. Some 59% of S&P 500 stocks are above their 50-day average; the Nasdaq 100 is positive over five trading days, and small caps bounced off their 200-day average. Buy gradually, as the selloff may not be completely over. x.com 

US equities are in a remarkably strong earnings environment, with S&P 500 sales and earnings revisions for 2027 surging. Markups on equity investments don't explain it, since sales wouldn't reflect them and these are 2027 estimates. Breadth is also fairly strong, so stripping out the mega caps, as @EcoDogFanJM suggests, isn't warranted. x.com  x.com 

The S&P 500's elevated P/E masks concentration in just a few stocks, making index exposure less appealing than selective stock picking for risk and reward. Its P/E is well above the ten-year median; digging into individual constituents looks more sensible than buying all 500. x.com 

Strong corporate earnings make weekend crash panic a contrarian buying opportunity in US large-cap equities. Most individual stocks have already gone through bear markets despite the S&P 500 nearing record highs; weekend social-media panic rarely leads to a genuine economic downturn and instead offers long-term investors an attractive entry point. x.com
