Based on what metric?
I was basing it off the large number of stocks at a 52-week high. Some of that is based on earnings, but some of that is unbridled optimism. Unfortunately, even with good earnings, once that unbridled optimism wanes - well, we typically see a 10 to 12 percent dip in the market, overall, primarily on the backs of those stocks at the 52-week high mark.
Just as a rising tide lifts all boats, when the tide goes out, everybody is likewise, high and dry.
