It seems so well-reasoned and I am not saying that to be dismissive. A number of folks called for this rally and it has been impressive. I don't see a lot of reasons why things can't unfold this way. But I have this affliction ...I keep looking in the wrong direction ... the underpinnings of this market. CRE, banks pretending to be OK, the entrenchmant of the political powers fighting over the scraps of what is left of this nation -- not to mention the hollowing out of the middle class. Then from my own work: the obvious chronic under investment in infrastructure necessary for real growth. How would your road map change if instead of the Fed following the anticipated schedule for rate cuts, instead they made emergency rate cuts sooner rather than later? Some say the 2 yr leads the Fed. Guess it might be prudent to keep an eye on that? Are stocks such a good deal here, I should buy-now-pay-later? Amazing to me that retailers concocted something to "help" those with stretched credit cards at the same time banks are tightening credit. Can't see that ending well. Anyway guess I should be screening some call options for the best play into the blow-off top or just shut my mouth and hold my taters till April.
