Podcast: Is the stock market overvalued?

Equity markets are hitting new highs, but are they set for a fall?
February 14, 2017, Algy Hall and James Norrington

The year is young, but already the FTSE 100, S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average have set new all-time highs. Many equity market bulls will feel vindicated. Other investors might be getting nervous. So is this all a mad sugar rush? Do higher share prices imply higher valuations, and if so, is there the risk that equities are over-valued and headed for a fall?

For this IC special podcast, tips editor Algy Hall and specialist writer James Norrington join Alex Newman to ask whether equities are looking overvalued.
