I agree with your contrarian view. But I think the mystic bear market would need to be a prolonged decline rather than a sudden drop. Only that can draw in dip buyers and the remainder of the capital. And in the end, what matters most is why people buy stock in the first place: dividend. Stocks with earnings and dividends will survive.

BTW, here are two articles that you might want to look at:

I've read articles like those for years. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to feasibly recognize when everybody's in the market and when there are still people clamoring to get in.

Just when you think the market is incredibly overbought -- put/call ratio astronomical, VIX readings unbelievable, sentiment overly bullish, your neighbor's 10-yr-old son has his own E-trade account, a divergence between new highs and the advancer-decline line or new highs-new lows readings, et al. the market declines a bit and then comes soaring back with a fury, loaded with 401K and IRA monies.

Plenty of greater fools out there.
