The VIX and James Brown are dead, again.
Bull case has sidelined cash chasing performance, rather than be content with low yield bonds and treasuries, and certainly not about to tempt fate in real estate (at least not in the U.S.), which means money will flow into equities.
Fed rate cuts would only exacerbate this differential, driving down bond and treasury yields, while stimulating equity markets.
The smart money will position itself to move out of equities once the last bearish retail investor capitulates and joins the party, exhausted from missing out on the outsized gains that he sees all feasting on.
Then, after that last bearish retail investor capitulates, the greater fool theory kicks in, and the markets tumble, as the smart money dumps their positions. Could be several quarters away. Could be '08.
