Top Ten Things Equity Bulls Have to Be Thankful For in 2013
-
Two words: Quantitative-Easing. All the money has to go somewhere in with bond yields so low equities are the place to be.
-
The “Bernanke Put Option.” Bulls Bernake has your back, he is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the up trend flowing gin equities.
-
“Janet Yellen” appointment the “Dovish Bull Part II.” She is willing to keep the bull party going.
-
A 13 year break out of the S&P 500 index. A new Secular Bull Market Perhaps?
-
Even the biggest bears are starting to capitulate and say they were wrong.
-
The financial world did not end in 2013.
-
Central Banks are coordinating with each other to keep the world stock markets supported and liquid.
-
Printing presses. Who cares about debt when we still have ink and paper left?
-
Inflation pushes up prices that increase earnings that expands P/E ratios naturally so stock prices can go higher based on earnings.
-
In a year where the S&P 500 is up 27% all you have to do is trade the long side to be profitable. Trend traders, trend followers, swing traders, perma-bulls, buy-and-holders, investors, and call option buyers should all be very pleased with their returns this year if they simply traded the long side of equities as an asset class.
