Sentiment check across markets. P/BV vs 10y averages. Assuming companies will perform neither better or worse fundamentally than they've shown historically, and shareholders will pay what they have on average have paid for those companies. Starting with #SPX500

#SPX500 would need to come down to slightly above 3100 to reach its 10y average.

Would be the first to agree that an index valuation might not be representable to what you own as an investor. But it gauges the temperature of a market decently well. If valuations are low, you are more likely to find good companies at good valuations.

If the temperature is very high - What stocks do you own? Can you fundamentally vouch for good returns ahead, or are you (like the market) a bit tipsy right now?
