Rise of the BULLS....

May 4th, 2009:


Citigroup's stock strategist Tobias Levkovich warns the market's naysayers could be proven wrong, and this could be an above-average bear market rally.


Goldman Sachs strategists said they see progress on a number of economic fronts and are now boosting their exposure to cyclical stocks. Laszlo Birinyi says, if you look at history, it looks like the market's still moving higher.


And finally, I talked to Brown Brothers Harriman's Brian Rauscher, a long-time bear who turned bullish in early March. He was concerned last month that the market could be showing signs of moving too far, too fast. But today, I asked him in an email if he's still thinks the market will go higher. He answered: "May have take a deep breath to get through 900 (a day or so), but this market is moving higher.."

I’ve said it before, but I still think there are trillions of dollars sitting on the sidelines that are about to come into this market and if and when that happens, it should chase the S&P higher, muses the Liquidator. I’m keeping an eye on two events this week, he adds, unemployment figures and the results of the stress tests. If they’re not bearish I think we could see price action well north of 900 in the S&P.

May 4 (Bloomberg) --

Emerging-market stocks may “break out” into a bull market at the end of the year as falling interest rates and easing inflation make equities more attractive, Templeton Asset Management Ltd.’s Mark Mobius said.

Mobius reiterated that emerging markets are “building a base” for the next rally.

 

These guys are all pumping their own books. They are hoping for a new bull rally. But who's going to buy here? Retail traders are dead. The only ones pumping this right now are the investment banks and long hedge funds.

I love when they come out and upgrade their forecasts at the top of a range.

 

Half the boobs on that list scream "BUY" every chance they get.

Abby Joseph Cohen is one of the worst in the business. Total disaster show.

I guarantee almost all of them are lagging the S&P so far this year.
