GMO 7-Year Asset Class Forecasts - June 2012

I was just searching Mr Grantham's February interview at Barron's and realized we hadn't posted one of these in a while.

About a quarter of the U.S. equity market—the high-quality, boring, great companies—is about fair price, too. The other three quarters are overpriced, and based on our numbers have a slight negative imputed return.

Come back in seven years, and you will not have made a penny, adjusted for inflation, outside the giant brand names, the Microsoft s [ticker: MSFT], Apple s [AAPL], and so on.
