Why the stock market might soon careen down a dangerous ‘slope of hope’
Consider the average recommended equity exposure among the Nasdaq-oriented market timers I monitor (as measured by the Hulbert Nasdaq Newsletter Sentiment Index, or HNNSI). Today, in contrast, in the wake of a 17%-plus gain in the S&P 500 (SPX) and a 20%-plus rally in the Nasdaq (COMP) the HNNSI has risen to plus 73%.
