Munger is brilliant and every bit the intellectual equal to the Oracle of Omaha. From 1962 through 1975, Munger ran an investment partnership (the firm known as Wheeler, Munger & Co.). His performance was incredible. Over that time period, the S&P 500 rose by an average annualized rate of 5.2%. Meanwhile, the Munger partnership increased by an average annualized rate of 19.8%. While a $10,000 investment made in the S&P 500 at the beginning of 1962 would have turned into $20,333 by the end of 1975... A simultaneous $10,000 investment made in the Munger partnership would have been worth $125,428 over the same time period. Listen to What Charlie Munger Is Saying Today Munger has seen it all... Even with his decades and decades of experience, he thinks the market today sticks out like a bad omen. At a recent investment conference, Munger told the crowd that the current market is dangerously overvalued. His said, "Some of the valuations we saw in the dot-com boom were higher, but overall, I consider this as being even crazier than the dot-com boom, which blew up in 2000." The parallels to the dot-com bubble are easy to spot. Perhaps the single clearest data point is in the chart below, which shows the recent spike in the number of stocks trading at absurd multiples of revenue. [Total Market Cap of Stocks With a Price-to-Sales Ratio of More Than 20X]( As you can see, there are now more than $4.5 trillion worth of stocks trading at more than 20 times sales today. For some perspective, in the spring of 2000 - at the peak of the tech bubble - there were just $3.6 trillion worth of stocks trading at more than 20 times sales. At these multiples, these companies are priced beyond perfection. The long-term upside for stocks priced like these is minimal, but the downside is severe. Shareholders of pioneering e-signature company DocuSign (Nasdaq: DOCU) just learned that lesson the hard way. SPONSORED [Larry Kudlow Drops Inflation Crisis Bombshell]( [Larry Kudlow Drops Bombshell]( Prices on gas, groceries, cars and homes have exploded. [But Larry Kudlow explores a solution that could offer "financial independence for life."]( Going into DocuSign's third quarter earnings announcement, the company was trading at the steep valuation of more than 30 times sales. When DocuSign's third quarter earnings were released and included a disappointing fourth quarter revenue forecast, the market took the stock out to the woodshed, as you can see below. [What Happens When Stocks Are Priced Beyond Perfection]( DocuSign's shares dropped more than 40% within the day. Interestingly, DocuSign is still expecting to grow its revenue from $545 million to $560 million in its fourth quarter. The "issue" is that DocuSign isn't forecast to grow as fast as expected. At the more than 30 times sales that DocuSign was trading at, the market was pricing the company for astoundingly high, indefinite growth. When incredibly overvalued companies disappoint, this kind of stock market reaction is what happens. This isn't to say you can't find good opportunities in the market today. Personally, I don't think that at all. What I'm saying, alongside Charlie Munger, is that the parts of the market that are expensive today have become ABSURDLY expensive. These are the areas of the market to avoid. DocuSign is only one example. Other companies to avoid include Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA), which has an astounding $1 trillion market valuation and hardly any income being generated from its core automobile business. These are the kind of stocks you need to avoid... Stocks that Charlie Munger thinks are making today's market crazier than the dot-com bubble - which ended miserably for so many investors.
