"Fed Chair Powell called equity prices fairly highly valued after September's rate cut, with S&P 500 P/E ratios 20% above 10-year averages."

Executive Summary

This quarterly letter addresses investor concerns following Fed Chair Jerome Powell's comments about fairly highly valued equity prices after the September rate cut. The advisor acknowledges that S&P 500 valuations are indeed elevated, trading 20% above the 10-year average P/E ratio, with technology stocks particularly expensive at over 30x earnings driven by AI optimism. However, the letter argues against selling based on high valuations, citing historical evidence that expensive stocks often continue rising and that there is no relationship between current valuations and next 12-month returns. The advisor references Alan Greenspan's irrational exuberance warning in the 1990s, after which stocks surged over 100% in four years. Instead of market timing, the letter advocates for systematic rebalancing to maintain target asset allocations, automatically reducing exposure to assets that have gained most while redirecting resources toward laggards. This disciplined approach aligns portfolios with long-term goals regardless of market conditions.
