RE:RE:THIS IS GOING TO GET UGLYFair comments worth considering.
I think we're in new territory here. I don't think the the economy across the bredth of the market is booming at all. Rather, you hae ultra-large cap (FAANG) driving the market, and completely torquing the representation in the S&P. It really isn't the S&P 500 anymore. Might as well call it the S&P 5.
Additionally, you have the Fed pouring gas on the fire pumping ridiculous money into the market to prop things up artifically. That is now ending. No gas, no fire. Then you have Governments ending covid handouts, which is also false economy. Then you have the masses entering the market over the past 2 years where everyone has money in, courtesy of RobinHood and the likes.
My point is, there are SO many props that are now going to end simultaneously. it will be ugly.

It didn't have ANY upside in a massive market tailwind. Now what do you think will happen when the market turns to a gail force headwind. Today might give you a clue of what's to come.

Not necessarily. If rates are rising then economy is booming. For stocks this could be a knee jerk reaction down, then back up. Rates are so low they can rise for a couple years before taking a toll on stocks. Then money pouring out of bonds could also boost equities. In addition to flows coming from of bitcoin/cyrptos.
