Stock valuations are the most deviated they've ever been from long-term trendlines in history.

Above even 1929.

But Wall Street doesn't care. The bull rally marches on, and looks poised to continue through the end of the year.

But how long can this record deviation sustain?

And what will the repercussions be if it doesn't?

Portfolio manager Lance Roberts and I discuss these key questions, as well as this week's Federal Reserve rate cut, the end of QT, the China-US trade talks, oil stocks, and Lance's firm's latest trades in this week's Market Recap.

For everything that mattered to markets this week, watch this video.
