re: Second Quarter Pullback?

I don’t see the success in trying to time the market. I have a long time before retirement so another recession is just another buying opportunity to me.
But it sure does seem like everyone out there is counting or at least expecting a long, deep pullback. Every article on SA mentions something like pullback, bear, recession, etc..
Prio to the 2012 Predidential Election and the end of 2012 was the last time I recall people this so uneasy about the immediate future.
