Closing the 2008 ‘Gap’
A disclaimer: I am long and/or trading several regular ‘bull stocks’ (as well as short a couple). Don’t interpret the sober message below as a ‘sell your stocks right now!’ style bearish warning. Indeed, after an expected choppy start to December I think more bull market mania, errr… rally, could still be ahead. But it would be just dandy if people would keep their perspective along the way.
From the December 1 edition of Notes From the Rabbit Hole (NFTRH 267):
Closing the 2008 ‘Gap’
In 2008 market and economic participants suffered a hard downside ‘gap’ in the prices of their assets and in the levels of their expectations. The bull market that began in March of 2009 is doing a fine job of closing that gap and fully resetting the herd from the utter fear mode of Q4, 2008 to a 2007 or even 1999 style greed mode today.
