Has the easy money in the Trump bump rally already been made?

The stock market has cooled off a bit lately following its euphoric post-election run from November through the end of February.

Yes, the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq are all still at or near record highs.

But it's worth noting that CNNMoney's Fear & Greed Index, a measure of seven different gauges of market sentiment, is now in Neutral mode. It had been showing signs of Greed -- and even Extreme Greed -- earlier this year.

One important indicator in the index, safe haven demand, is flashing Fear levels. Essentially, more investors are starting to flock to bonds over stocks. Bonds are perceived to be less risky, so this could be a sign that the market is growing a little more worried.

Two other measures in the index, that look at options trading and market volume, have even dipped into Extreme Fear territory.

That could be a worrisome sign.

Experts think that for the market to continue rising, Trump needs to prove that his economic policies can kick GDP growth into a higher gear as promised.

And there are some doubts.

Jeffrey Cleveland, chief economist at Payden & Rygel, said investors may be just a little too bullish on Trump.
He's not suggesting that the markets are going to crash or that the economy is going to suddenly slow. But he does think it will be difficult for the president to fulfill his promise of getting the economy growing at 4% annual rate anytime soon.



I wonder what the SEC will do with these shares in.... ?

Back in 2014 this was an interesting and a messy development; let's hope the SEC is not focusing its sights on Kerr Mines ? https://www.sec.gov/news/pressrelease/2014-283.html
