If you have been following the CAPS blogs in the past three weeks, you will definitely have noticed the sentiment that a pullback *must happen*. I, myself, don't believe that this needs to happen due to the fundamentals of the economic situation and company earnings. Both of which I believe have been looking towards being improved in the future. Banks no longer are an unknown - we have a direction to what the banks and the government will be doing. That's a huge plus in this market. Second, manufacturing has been improving, oil prices, commodity prices are going up, and there is a trend to decreasing monthly job losses. We haven't hit the bottom for people feeling pain and being out of work - but things will start to flatline and then improve in these next months. I was reading recently that only 6% of the stimulus has been spent, leaving a huge proportion to be kicking in over the next year. That, combined with further feelings of stability and clarity will lead to the big bull rise. [more]
