Yahoo Finance just confirmed what I've been warning about

May 15, 2026 The Last Time Stocks Were This Expensive, the Market Fell 78%. Here's What I'm Doing About It. The headline isn't hyperbole. It's math. By nearly every traditional valuation measure — price-to-earnings, the Shiller CAPE ratio, the Buffett Indicator — the S&P 500 is now trading at levels we haven't seen since 1999 and 2000. You remember what happened next. The Nasdaq lost roughly 78% of its value from peak to trough. The S&P 500 cut in half. And investors who were "buying and holding" the most popular names of the day — Cisco, Intel, JDS Uniphase — spent the next decade trying to get back to even. Some never did. Now, I'm not writing to tell you the crash is happening tomorrow. Nobody knows that — not me, not Jim Cramer, not the talking heads on CNBC. What I AM telling you is this: When the market is priced this richly, the margin for error disappears. And "buy and hope" stops working. That's exactly why I built what I built. See How My Copilot System Reads This Market → For the last several months, I've been showing a small group of traders something I call my Copilot — a signal system that tells you, in plain English, whether the wind is at your back or in your face on any given setup. No more guessing whether a stock is "overvalued." No more wondering if you're catching the top. No more holding through a 30% drawdown because some pundit on TV said to "stay the course." The Copilot doesn't care what the market should do. It only cares what the market is actually doing — and it gives you a clear read on whether to be in, out, or sitting on your hands. That's a powerful thing to have when valuations are flashing red. Look — the worst trades of my 40-year career weren't bad picks. They were trades I held too long because I had no clear signal telling me the tide had turned. I won't make that mistake again. And I don't want you to make it either. Especially not now. Not at these valuations. Click here to see exactly how the Copilot works → I'll walk you through what it is, how it reads the market, and how you can put it to work in your own account — whether you're trading stocks, options, or just trying to protect a retirement portfolio. The market may not crash this year. It may not crash next year. But sooner or later, gravity wins. And when it does, the traders who survive aren't the ones with the best stock picks — they're the ones with the clearest signals. I'd rather you have one in your hands before you need it.
