Current conditions suggest the next 5 years and probably even
the next 10 years will not be like the last 5 years. For example
let's look at those events when the Shiller PE Ratio was >= 22 while at the
same time the S&P was 170% or more above its 5 Year Low. Since
the early 1880's there have only been "5" events as shown in the chart
below highlighted in purple with the most recent one occurring in late
2013. Notice in the prior "4" events all were followed by decent
corrections (points a to b) ranging from 32% to 87%. Meanwhile the table below shows the Returns over a 5 and 10
Year period when the conditions mentioned above occurred. Notice the
only 5 and 10 Year period that produced a positive return was from
1902-1911. However even during this period there were still two
significant corrections 32% (1902 into 1903) and 43% (1906 through
1907). Meanwhile the other 5 and 10 Year Returns ended up
negative.

Thus history suggests the next 5 to 10 years will not be nearly
as profitable as the last 5 years and could end up with substantial negative
returns. Those investors who have invested all of their retirement
savings into stocks recently are taking a huge risk in my opinion going forward
especially if they plan on retiring in the next 5 to 10 years.
