As of November 2024, the figure reached 230%, the highest on record, according to Kailash’s data. That type of market dynamic hasn’t been seen since March 2000 around the time the dot-com bubble burst. Back then, the market-to-GDP ratio had reached a record level of 175%."

From: The stock market gauge named after Warren Buffett just hit an all-time high, sending a warning worse than before the dot-com bubble burst

I try to NOT be on the wrong side of Mr. Buffet's advice.
