AA, I just want to make sure I understand what you said. Are you expecting a large pull-back after SP500 gets close to or punch up through 900? A good buying point will be after this pull back? I always enjoy reading your views.

Things like the near-unanimous bearishness on the part of bankers (link below) make me wonder that perhaps we are in a recovery which is larger than a mere wave 4. While the chart allows for different interpretations, it can be that we are in W2 of a larger impulse.... or in W2 of a (putative) large ED down.... or in a Wave B. All of those are bearish in the longer term - but bullish for many weeks, maybe months. Did I just call a top? - LOL! Message 25622973

Mutual fund flows: does this strike you as a touch odd? Most of the redemptions, bear-to-date, took place in September and October of last year - above SPX 900. Very little selling took place at the "lows". Isn't that a tad strange if those were really the ultimate, spooky bottom? `BC

What is meant by punching through 900? Have we punched through it already? Thanks.

My thoughts on "bearish" vs. "Bearish" (with a capital "b") - prompted by some data published by Hulbert a week ago: Message 25649013 My impression: "bears" revert to bullishness at the first whiff of improvement, because they're still on board long-term. "Bears" remain steadfastly bearish because they finally threw in the towel, cashed out the 401k, and are hunkered down for the duration. No green shoots are going to impress them because they just sold out at the low... `BC
