One thing I don't understand though... I agree with the fundies, but wasn't this rally fueled by cheap money? What will happen when that ends? Isn't the market off balance as we speak even though we have good news in the pipe line?
That's exactly the question right now and that's why all the expectations on the FED.

Sure it was fueled by cheap money but monetary policy just serves (at least in theory) to give some boost to real economy until start working on its own (otherwise you have inflation).

Theoretically once you remove the aid, the economy should be able to stand in its feet because of the interrelation and interconnections in the economy.... simplistically free money, more investent, more jobs, more consumption, more taxes income, etc etc circle.

That's the only question in all analyst across the globe...are we ready? ...some doomers say no, some extreme optimist say is already too much and is dangerous but the consensus is that we are there or almost there so "cheap money" is not going to be there for much longer (max Q4/2012)

Right... From the economic stand point yes. I was thinking more about the stock market in isolation (if one can do that...).. While the economy was nose diving the market was up (for the most part)... If we look at the stock market as a leading indicator it was right but the ponzi scheme was fueled by almost zero interest money... Now that will end soon shouldn't we expect a drop in the market?

I see you point. Despite TA (that a whole different issue), you can see clearly who benefit in the stock markets and where did they buy.

Look at the bottom on 03/2009. We have a non-stop rally of nearly 200%. All the bastards loaded there until the end of that year because of the free money. No sane investor or conservative real investor would have ride in that environment.

Now look at QE1 and QE2 same story. However, since last Q 2011 the environment has dramatically changed. The last leg is all based on macro numbers and you can see everybody jumping in , even the most stubborn doomers admitted defeat.

The point is, if everything is aligned macroeconomic-wise why kill the move when the cow is ready for milking. The answer to your question is: sure taking out cheap money is a perfect excuse for the bastards short/mid term is "profit taking" (not really) and pullback to load lower before a new break...but it cannot go a lot lower as there are a lot of real investment money (not the bastards)buying everything and everywhere.

As long as we don't have a externality via risk I don't see a trend change. I only see a potential pullback and FED taking the sweet sounds as the perfect trigger to me...

The 1st hikes will be a good sign because it will mark confirmed recovery ...only after the impact of higher interest rates will be in play...not before...

Right. Excellent analysis.. It's interesting how these things play out if you think about it. How thing get "balanced" out.. Over here, the stock market is made of bastards, yes.. but the bulk of it are the mutual funds, i.e. people's retirement plans. The FED's cheap money kept that afloat so that the people, although without jobs were screaming less because their 401Ks were going up. Now that they'll probably get jobs, the'll see that going down, and they will not scream that loudly either because the jobs are there and they will happily vote whoever they are voting for.... It's so funny how they do us..
