right, because real earnings yield sounds to be like it should be Real 2021 Equity value/Real 2021 Earnings = the nominal values!

Both previous times market crashed or was about to crash (2000, 2008), not ATHs. After a crash it will again be a generational buying opportunity.

Avoiding overvalued stocks is a more reasonable solution instead of shifting equity allocation towards cash/debt when facing high inflation & negative yields.
How "overvalued" is defined is critical; E/P is not the most reliable barometer in this market.
Most investors agree that equity valuations are stretched & this has implications in portfolio construction.
Investors shouldn't abandon equities altogether; they still offer positive real discount rates & hedge inflation. Instead, avoid allocation towards overvalued stocks.⬇️

I looked at the formula - it is (100 / P/E ratio) - YoY inflation. This being historical low, doesn’t this mean it is time to sell rather than buy?
