There is the possibility that we are in a transition point where normal indicators (even magazine covers) aren't that reliable anymore. Think about it, if you were being asked your opinion about the market for a bull/bear contrarian indicator, how would you answer if you were bullish? Would you say that you are bullish even though it will be interpreted as a bearish indication, or would you say bearish, since it would be interpreted as a bullish indication?

Is the fact that retail investors are reacting to the market the same way that the pros are by buying the dip (aren't we supposed to buy low and sell high?) an indication that the retail investors got wise to the game? or is it a sign that there is no fear and therefore bearish?

Personally, I think that the pros have been caught off guard (as suggested by a few people of late, coug being one of them) and that for this brief period in time, the playing field has been leveled.

I don't think that it will last for very long. I think that the rules will be changes so that the retail investor is in a more subservient roll to the pros and the pros will end up getting the traditionally bigger piece of pie that they are accustomed to.

Sorry to ramble.
