I'd agree that the decline in interest rates (and the asset inflation it fueled) has a limit. However, the actual earnings of publicly traded companies[1] is also increasing! So the predicted bottom off a stable p/e keeps going up.

To be honest, the belief that the market is overvalued is a big part of my motivation for buying individual stocks despite the overwhelming evidence that it's a fool's errand.
