Top Ten Things Equity Bulls Have to Be Thankful For in 2013

 Top Ten Things Equity Bulls Have to Be Thankful For in 2013

1. Two words: Quantitative-Easing. All the money has to go somewhere in with bond yields so low equities are the place to be.

2. The “Bernanke Put Option.” Bulls Bernake has your back, he is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the up trend flowing gin equities.

3. “Janet Yellen” appointment the “Dovish Bull Part II.” She is willing to keep the bull party going.

4. A 13 year break out of the S&P 500 index. A new Secular Bull Market Perhaps?

5. Even the biggest bears are starting to capitulate and say they were wrong.

6. The financial world did not end in 2013.

7. Central Banks are coordinating with each other to keep the world stock  markets supported and liquid.

8. Printing presses. Who cares about debt when we still have ink and paper left?

9. Inflation pushes up prices that increase earnings that expands P/E ratios naturally so stock prices can go higher based on earnings.

10. In a year where the S&P 500 is up 27% all you have to do is trade the long side to be profitable. Trend traders, trend followers, swing traders, perma-bulls, buy-and-holders, investors, and call option buyers should all be very pleased with their returns this year if they simply traded the long side of equities as an asset class.
