This market has been running on ether. De-caffeinated coffee will be a let down. Injecting a bizillion dollars into the stock market kept the world economy from imploding. Turning off the tap will cause an ugly reversal. Rates are not going up a quarter point. Rates are entering a longer term up trend. Liquidity will dry up. Multiples will collapse. Techs -- the 'you can't miss if you buy them' stocks, will take it hardest.

>>the bonds have just returned to pre-crisis yields<<

Exactly. Then should stocks return to pre-crisis level as well? Obviously not, so, where should they be? That's why a lot of money is on the sideline right now.

>>The Fed Funds futures have price in two 1/4-point tightenings. Where are the surprises? <<

How's about +3/4 point or more? The market looks out 6 months ahead. The Fed lowered rate 3 times last year and the stock market went up 80% from the bottom (NASDAQ). If the Fed raises rate 3 times from here, where should the stock market be?
