well average market returns are 10% per year. Thats avg for the last 100 years, maybe more. The S&P has returned a little over 20% in 4 years, way under average returns. Sure it has returned something, and there are some schools of thought that say anytime you go up its a bull- there are some on the clown thread that think a 2% market return is a roaring bull. But when you are this far below historical normal returns its hard to get too excited. I am leaving off 02/03 as a crash and DCB. put call ratios almost never have a 1:1 ratio bulls to bears UNLESS you are in a bear.
