Could rally back to or even break all time high. Then after, another wave of bear market or consolidation, i think.
Anyone shares my view?
Reasons pull back after rally to high:
1) High oil price (will probably stay high for a while) = steady inflationary pressure and higher consumers costs.
2) Fed will keep raising interest rates if economy grows to fast b/c fast growth means inflation will grow even faster.
3) Housing market cooling down a little = tightening of consumer credits.
4) Market has only enough room to grow moderately and slowly as the result of 1, 2, 3. It will get very rough eventually, unless energy prices go down a little, which is quite unlikely.
