Damodaran doesn't think stocks are expensive, but he doesn't think they are cheap either.

He feels there are four reasons the recent optimism is justified:

- record amounts of cash flows

- robust earnings growth

- low interest rates

- risk premiums are coming down

And he has two main worries:

- possibility of rising interest rates

- there is always another macro crisis around the corner

He is especially worried about how fast interest rates could rise if the economy starts to heat up.
