Buffett Indicator (Wilshire 5000 / GDP)

The Buffett Indicator (Wilshire 5000 / GDP) is a macroeconomic metric used to assess whether the U.S. stock market is overvalued or undervalued. It is calculated by dividing the total market capitalization (represented by the Wilshire 5000 Index) by the U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP). A value above 1 (or 100%) may indicate an overvalued market, while a value below 1 suggests potential undervaluation. This indicator is best suited for long-term investment analysis.
