I agree, robert. I would note that SPY is up 31% (if you include the dividends) since last winter's low. Other than the Brexit blip, there really hasn't been a back fill move of any size since then. Also, it's been over 85 trading days since SPY was down 2 full points, so this move appears to be slightly long in the tooth. Hard to judge when or why there will be a slow down in the markets?

Some thing that has me thinking and it relates to what rob was saying about the top . Richard Vague in "The Next Economic Disaster " says that each of our crises have been preceded by rapid private loan growth on a base of high personal debt to GDP ratio . amazon.com debt-economics.org So the problem stems from too many bad loans . What looks like success is the ( opposite ) seeds of failure . How do we see what rob is saying and the bad loans playing out ? To pay down Personal debt to GDP to levels where it can ratchet higher enough to create excesses growth + bad loans , must be south of 140 % . This is all going to take time . Just can't see through it or maybe keeping it simple is the answer .
