Last week, I had a relatively new client ask me if I was always this bullish toward the markets. I had a good chuckle, even my wife thought it was funny when I came home and told her. How many years have I have I been accused of being far too bearish toward the markets to the point of actually losing clients for my conservatism? Many is the answer, and probably too many in hindsight. So it is with great joy in the spirit of true contrarianism that I find myself steadfastly bullish among the daily doom – at least until everyone is bullish again. I am beginning to see confirmation of good things to come from a series of new bullish patterns and trends.
