The Most Hated Bull Market In History
sproutmoney
24 June 2014



This bull market has been going strong for 5 years now and at this point there are no concrete signs yet that it will come to an end soon. These last weeks we saw new record highs for different indices again, which is a trait of a strong uptrend. All support levels are also intact.

Nevertheless there are more and more investors who complain about this bull market. They believe that it has lasted for too long and that it is unhealthy to not see any form of correction. It is true that we have not had a correction that is worthy of mention for a while, but that just shows that the bull is strong.

The current bull market is definitely the most hated bull market in history, mostly because of the fact that many people lost money last year. They concluded that stock prices had grown too fast and, as a consequence, these investors bet against the market by going short, etc. Now they are in the red.

The Most Hated Bull Market


On the chart above we can see the evolution of the market of the last 5 years and it is clear that many people took up short positions along the way. If we look at the ‘Net Buys’ we might even say that there has been more sideways action than anything else.

This bull market has had many losers, despite the fact that it is still going strong. This is also related to the enormous amount of buybacks from corporate America. Stock prices are definitely getting a hand left and right and then we are not even mentioning the Fed.
