I make no calls. At this point I am clueless like everyone else. The market is well managed now, which means it will go where the management wants it to go until it fails. I am not part of the market management team, but I would assume the team would love to steer the stock market higher. I respect the forces that broke market management last year and could break it again. The notional amounts are high. However, at this time it's back in force. I'm just staying out of managed market, a personal decision. Some might play long and help the management team. Stock bears are dead. A black swan might be lurking somewhere, but I suspect that place would be currency and bonds. At some point stock market could go down a lot, but it could also soar. Who knows. On one hand, it is a better inflation hedge than bonds. On the other hand, if rates soar too much, that would be bearish for it. Fundamentally I would say we'll be in for ONE HELL of INFLATION. Some prefer to call the process "crack up boom", but unlike 2008, this is no longer caused by expanding credit, it's caused by monetization of blown up credit. Which is why.. no clue about stocks -g-
