Weekly Market Recap: Danger Of A Bearish Stampede?
Bullish stampedes like we're seeing now tend to reverse direction
The S&P just hit a new all-time high for 5 straight days over the past week.
It missed doing so again on Friday by the thinnest of whiskers (0.07%)
Portfolio manager Lance Roberts says it’s clear we’re now in what’s called a “bullish stampede” in stocks, where rising prices entice more investors into the market, leading to even higher prices, and so on…
It’s a lot of fun if you’re long.
But realize that pure emotion is driving the action, not logic.
Which is why bullish stampedes tend to be short-lived (a few weeks, maybe) and often end by reversing into a bearish stampede.
Should investors try to ride these manic trends for all their worth?
Or step aside of the stampede?

I am curious what either yourself or Lance see as a solution to illegal immigration ? We have an ocean surrounding us and we can't stop it, will a wall or razor wire really help ? One thought which has been put forward in the past is that it is basically a problem of supply and demand and change in this dynamic is necessary to deal with the underlying issue.
Adam, thank you for your generous work helping me and so many try to understand the financial landscape...would you please consider trying to lock in David Rogers Webb who wrote “the great taking” for an interview? He has some very provocative findings from his research that we would love to have your take on these matters.
Thanks
Greg
