    John,

    Thanks for posting.

    Most of the time I enjoy reading Ms. Sonders' market blurbs. Not so sure about this one though ... I feel as though she might be making a pitch for Windhaven and I also did not take much away form her "Ben Franklin" analysis (pros & cons) on the market and the economy. Perhaps, it was just me not understanding the thrust of her message. Or, perhaps I did. Throw a fancy dancy analysis out ... and, let investors derive their own conclusion. Q: So what was her message? A: Not sure.

    In comparison, here is Raymond James' Jeff Saut's take ... Now, I understand what Saut is saying ... How about you?

  • While I admit being put off by the Windhaven plug (perhaps some of it a necessary disclosure), the rest of her commentary was quite succinct and consistent with her 2014 views made previously. Translation: We are in a secular bull market, but understand that a correction is overdue and could occur at any time. Leading indicators would support this theory. Her cautiously-optimistic outlook has been pretty good. Saut says pretty much the same thing. The guy doing the interview was terrible and spoke more than Mr. Saut did.
  • Thank you BobC,

    My brain just would not tune to the same wave lenght today that Ms. Sonders was broadcasting on. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

  • The Windhaven spiel at the start may have been a distraction for the rest of the article. Four paragraphs at the beginning was too much.
