  "account": "The Shiller CAPE Ratio, a measure of cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings for the top 500 U.S. stocks, has reached its highest level since the dot-com bubble in September 2021. This metric, designed to provide a consistent valuation across different economic conditions, is currently signaling a warning. The ratio surpassed its previous peak in 1929, just before the stock market crash that led to the Great Depression. Despite the metric's limitations, it has sparked concerns among investors and analysts. When the Shiller CAPE Ratio is high, the conventional wisdom suggests staying the course with investments. However, for those apprehensive about large-cap stocks, small-cap stocks could be an alternative worth considering.",
  "summary": "When the Shiller CAPE Ratio gets this high, it's often bad news for stock prices.",
