I think that the market collectively is in the process of invalidating one important idea. That is that stocks excel in the long term. That is the received truth of the era. It has been an exceptionally profitable truth, but by bidding up prices to previously unseen valuations, people will make this truth invalid. That is they'll make sure that stocks do not excel over the long run by mispricing them.
