Everything seems high these days, even investors. Editor Jason Williams examines some warning signs that show we might all be getting a little too high off this market. [Wealth Daily logo] Everything Is High [Jason Williams Photo] By [Jason Williams]( Written Feb 05, 2021 Literally everything is high these days. Housing prices are high. Stock market valuations are high. Unemployment is high. The national debt is really high. And I’m starting to think investors might be a little high too. That’s because the warning flags that a correction is coming are getting higher every day. And yet investors are still pumping money into the markets… Confident or Arrogant? Bank of America has an investor confidence metric that it tracks. And right now it's up as high as it’s been since the dot-com bubble. Investors are extremely confident that stocks can only go up. And that’s usually the time that returns start to falter — when everyone thinks they couldn’t possibly slow down. The Bank of America indicator has a pretty solid track record of predicting market direction for the coming year. When it’s higher than usual, returns tend to underperform. Now, that’s not to say the market never gains after this indicator hits a peak. It just underperforms the previous year. But after a year in which markets were up double digits across the board, that’s probably something we all expect anyway. So maybe investors aren't getting arrogant just yet and they're just overly confident. And just maybe, we can ignore that red flag for now. Until we start to see others run high up the pole, that is… New Year, New Opportunities Thanks to a landmark act of Congress, everyday investors like yourself can now access this “private market” that was once off-limits to those under a certain net worth. This private market hands out $214 billion in profits every year, and now you can take your slice of the pie. And here’s the kicker, it’s growing 10 times faster than the stock market! If you’re serious about opportunities that can provide you with truly life-changing gains, then you’ll want to pay attention to what I’m about to tell you. You see, this is your chance to get in on the next Starbucks, Amazon, or Google. You can now access those rock-star companies BEFORE they go public. It’s no longer just for the elite and the fat cats on Wall Street. Not only are investors now looking at returns as high as 140,000% in a few extraordinary cases, but these investments are extremely simple. You don’t need to be an options trading expert, you won’t need to worry about perfectly timing trades, and you don’t need a small fortune to get started. I’ve spent months researching and digging to get you all the details and opportunities, and it’s finally ready for you to see. Inside this free report, I discuss how you can unlock the secrets of private-market investing and make them work to your advantage. But that’s not all... You will also have the opportunity to join us in these private companies that could deliver double, triple, and even quadruple returns.

And they tend to have a better idea of where their stock is going to go than the average investor. So when they’re selling in droves, we might want to pay attention. Because that throws up another red flag. And even before the GameStop saga dinged markets, insider sales were hitting astronomical levels compared with insider buys. And the stocks experiencing the most selling paint a picture of what the insiders see coming down the road. They’re selling out of big tech stocks like Ciena, Facebook, Zoom, and Dell. That’s a sign that the insiders see their shares priced to perfection and that anything below that in execution will tank the price. And while most insider sales are preplanned — that is, on a schedule — pre-arranged sales are up nearly 40% on the tech-heavy Nasdaq compared with a year ago. They’re also selling off the reopening plays like Disney, Carnival, and Shake Shack just as the internet blows up about how those are the stocks to buy as vaccines roll out. That could be a sign that the crowd has arrived and the reopening trade has seen its run come to an end too. Insiders are selling out of cyclical stocks like Morgan Stanley, U.S. Concrete, CarMax, and Masco as well, suggesting that those got ahead of themselves too and need to cool off while the economic cycle catches up to the stock valuations. They’re also selling out of high-flying biotech names because they know rates will eventually rise. And when that happens, the present value of their future earnings will fall (because you discount based on interest rates). When rates go up, the present value of money in the future falls. Right now these stocks are priced for near zero percent interest rates. That's like dividing any number by zero — the result is completely meaningless. And rates never stay anywhere "forever." The Only Way to Survive in This Market Ex-Wall Street banker Jason Williams here. And you’re right about these markets: A LOT of money will be lost. But here’s the thing — that money is NOT going to disappear. Instead, it’s going to be snapped up by financial insiders who know how to weather the storm.

GameStop has monopolized the headlines for weeks now. And that’s 100% speculation at this point. As you know from [my article on Wednesday](, GameStop does have some fundamental value. It does have potential to be a turnaround story. But it does not have the potential to justify a $400+ price target. But fundamentals don’t matter when you’re gambling in the stock market. You don’t check the fundamentals of the roulette wheel before you pick a number. Why check the fundamentals of a company before you pick a symbol? But the thing is, when you start to see so much speculation, that’s a red flag too. Sure, there’s always some gambling going on in the market, but when it gets to the point where politicians, celebrities, and the mainstream media are all opining on it, you know it’s reaching a peak. Low interest rates and a lot of free money getting pumped into the system through various avenues have led to higher risk tolerance on Main Street. And when speculation is that widespread, it ties back into the Bank of America indicator I mentioned earlier. Investors are overconfident. So maybe we do need to pay attention to that first red flag after all. Bottom Line Every week, more and more red flags keep popping up. But everything still goes higher. I don’t know which combination of sell signals is going to trigger the correction. But I do know that if they keep adding up, eventually they’re going to tip the scales. And when that correction happens, it will happen faster than most of you can say “Sell it all.” So now is a good time to check out your strategy and see if you’ve been investing or just gambling. And it’s a good time to rebalance your portfolio. Take some profits off stocks that are priced for perfection. Give a little love to ones that haven’t rallied like the rest. And keep a pile of cash on hand so that you can be greedy when everyone else is panicking. But don’t get out of the market entirely. The biggest gains almost always come right before the bubble bursts. And you don’t want to cut yourself out of those.
