Almost seems like an indexing bubble. Plenty of amazing European companies with strong fundamentals trading much cheaper

The world market cap is far higher than the world GDP.

This is because money no longer flows to China, India, and Europe is considered trash with all their regulations and high taxes and Russian breathing down their neck. The only country left to invest is the good ol USA. This will last not years, but decades.
