"Nothing Special" ??? There is a huge difference between past bull markets the last 90 years and now...back in past bull markets there was actual real economic expansion, real growth.... Since 2009 this market has been artificially propped up by fed intervention, the trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars that they have printed is the only reason for this bull market the last 8 years....with fed intervention this market would be trading at historical lows....the fed and the printing press of trillions of dollars is the ONLY reason the markets have rallied as long as they have......that nothing special is very special...a nothing special market is a market that doesn't need free handouts to prop it up, doesn't need 3 rounds of QE or historical low interest rates or fed intervention, it doesnt need record breaking stock buybacks, TARP and a fed saying they are going to raise rates but ease off Everytime some little economic number doesn't go where they want it to go..... This is a very special needy market...
