Martis seems to have stirred up a hornet's nest of opposing opinions which is great , because it shows just how hard markets are to figure out .It's easy to be wise in hindsight
To me there isn't any real basis or catalyst for the markets to go up , the charts generally look terrible, there is a lot of unease both in the finance/broking industry and the wider investment community. Therefore, it's logical on balance that the risk is to the downside with not a lot of upside potential in the event that they don't go down . I think it's at the point where you need to examine every stock individually to see whether they're really worth hanging on to and to look at investment vehicles that could thrive in this sort of environment
The other issue is what else you could do with your money.Still, it's easy to be bearish atm , isn't everybody ?
