With all of the garbage going on with the "New World Order" of governments, how can't anyone be bearish?Besides me, arbman, goldswingers, and a few remaining bears...
The main questions then become:
1) when does (will) it matter to the direction of the stock market?
and
2) why does (will) it matter to the direction of the stock market?
One can post statistics until they're blue in the face, for as long as you want (and many have), but until the mechanisms are in place to feed on these same statistics, they're really just fundamental distractions.

Hey Fib,
The "WHEN" is always the quest. Thus, the saying, "Don't tell me what's going to happen; tell me WHEN it's going to happen." No one knows with certainty WHEN anything's going to happen in the future as we're only human. The best we can come up with are statistical probabilities. And posting "statistics until they're blue in the face", as you had commented, is all that everyone's doing here. That's why we're here. Should we all drop it just because everyone has different views and perspectives?
Depending on one's bias, the technicals could be just as distracting as the fundamentals. Some would vow that technicals matter not one bit, and, of course, some would argue, till they're blue in the face, that the fundamentals mean absolutely nothing. And, I'm assuming that you pay no attention to the fundamentals, as per your comment above. I, on the other hand, pay attention to everything that I can get my hands on.
I'm glad we're all so different...

Love old movies and old TV series, particularly James Garner in The Rockford Files.
Have a great evening, milbank. You're the best.
