    In a sense, yes, but not in terms of whether I should stay invested and keep investing.

    US markets in particular are a good 30% overvalued, a proper correction is overdue but 50% would be too much even if interest rates had been raised in the last few years as they should have been. UK markets (stock, property, and most everything else) are largely dependent on Brexit factors. Domestic and geopolitics aside, things are looking OK for now but when you scratch a bit at the surface you see the empty and ugly behind things. Bitcoin is the new gold, that's what everyone says at the pub and they can't all be wrong now can they?

    Sounds reasonable, but in that case why have my holdings in Germany and across Europe fallen by so much?
