Bull Or Bear: Should Investors Still Care?

FYI: (Click On Article Title At Top Of Google Search)
Not a day goes by without hearing what appears to be the predominant question for investors, namely, When will stocks come back down to earth? Variants of that query include, Isn’t this bull market getting long in the tooth? And, stocks go up and up, so we must be on the verge of a selloff, right?

These questions are not about a pullback per se. No matter the market, corrections of 5%-10% are always possible and even to be expected. Rather, most of these concerns stem from a common reading of the past investing years. To wit, that we are in a robust bull market in US equities that began at the tail end of the financial crisis.

Remove that assumption, and a multitude of other possible interpretations emerge. As Barry Ritholtz, one of the more astute market observers who worships few, if any, sacred cows, recently and acerbically observed, most of what people think they know about when to call market cycles is wrong, and now especially.
