Joachim Klement has an update to some of his papers, and while he has some different takes on CAPE and value, he had one chart that I loved on CAPEs and future drawdowns. Not surprisingly, the more you pay for […]
Summertime reading has been a little slow, but here is a fun question: Name the asset class: 17% return/yr past 10 yrs No down years Ours trades at 35 PE I’ll spoil this with the answer (farmland). There are not […]
