100% of NAAIM Advisors are 75% or more long. 

 

That's a huge shift. The "Average Advisor" went from 58% long to 109% long. In one week!

 

I'm not a Bear, especially at this time of year, but I can't help but believe that they'll punish these late-comer Bulls with a shot down of some sort shortly.

This is a news driven market.  Today (not yesterday) everyone took the news that the Congress is set to pass the tax bill early next week...............

The Median Advisor has been mostly or fully long since March of last year. I expect there to be guys short over there, they're market timers after all, but most of them seem to be mostly right most of the time.

I see SPX is going to 2700 in the next week if the tax bill passes, that should cap it......

Incredible bull market. As usual. Rally into close.

[Data]

Sentiment has been high for a long time.   71 percent expected a Q4 rally into year-end.  Margin debt at multiples of past bubbles and retail investor flow exceeding 100 percent of total trades all year.

 

There has been a scarcity of investible assets.   It was flow-driven for years but cb holdings have reached levels last year that also crowd out or reduce private holdings.
