You might enjoy this update from my friend Mike Williams at Truvestments:

Thank the Lord above tonight in your prayers for this stage being set.

Further, consider this: With only 28% bullish, it means 72% of the audience does NOT like the stock market – with almost half being outright bearish!!

This at just a couple percent away from all-time highs?

Sound reasonable to you?

Remember, it took 7 months of a bear market and a drop of 40% from highs back n 2008-2009, to get the “bullish” reading all the way down to 19.7%!

We now stand less than 9 ticks away from that level of fear and disgust, in a market 700% higher than March of 2009 – and just 2-3% off all-time highs, WOW.

Like I said above, pray and be grateful.  This is excellent news long-term.

I am interested in your thoughts, comments, and observations. Feel welcome to call, email, or stop by the office and say Hi.

Respectfully,
