The Bull Market Is Seven Years Old; Why Aren’t People More Excited?

TedTed
in Off-Topic
FYI: The post-crisis bull market turned seven today. But it wasn’t a day for fancy presents or fireworks, or even an ice-cream cake in the office. It wasn’t really that kind of birthday party.
Regards,
Ted

    The article sort of answers its own question. Basically only an idiot would be excited at the market at this time Most I know are holding on and hoping to survive without a significant loss.

    I am excited about it, and who is 'hoping to survive without significant loss?' People who dove in 54-55 weeks ago?

    Count me as an idiot. How can one not be excited about the move in equities, junk bonds and oil since the 2/11 bottom? Then again, from what the pundits say it has been (take your pick) a counter trend rally - a relief rally - a bear market rally- a suckers rally. Regardless, a rally to have made some nice money.
