I'm in same boat. But after todays close I see much more index
call buying, therefore I expect in a couple of days or so, we
can see some correction. Compare the call buying vs put buying of the indices in the last three weeks and you see why (this is my contrarian
indicator). 401K money is sitting in the money market for the
last three reporting weeks, so yes, if this is moved to equities we
are in for more record highs.

I have some shorts but looking at briefing.com's earning tables currently show that most companies have revenues up in the range 50-200% from last year (and am scared). Or bad companies simply disappeared or not listed? Any knows the average medium-to-large companies' p/e or revenues compared to those of last year?

Sam, your explanation is right on. Too much money chasing too few investments.

FWIW I've had this same feeling. It's a liquidity driven market that's in a feeding frenzy (acquiring without diligence or due diligence). I suppose there's a way to be more sure of this but if its not the answer I'm not sure I want to know the real answer.
