Bullish market rally shows signs of overvaluation and bubble risks despite strong profits and S&P 500 gains

Valuations appear stretched, with margin debt levels reminiscent of past bubbles, increasing the risk of sharp declines if sentiment shifts or inflation rises. The author advises focusing on stable, high-margin dividend stocks such as McDonald's to reduce portfolio volatility and avoid overvalued, hype-driven assets.
