why would they be bearish, no one would invest if they pointed out the negatives...everybody would be short by now...when the market comes crashing down they will still be positive...once we hit the bottom they will turn bearish...at that time jump the train...forget the DOW and Nasdaq...look at across equities a lot of them got destroyed over the past 5 months....that should definetly tell that the economy is getting smacked around
reasons.
employment number have sucked for the past two years...I would love to see how many jobs have been lost and how many people are unemployeed but are not on the unemployment payroll
commodity prices through the roof and probably will get worse if china and india keep this pace
american car sales suck but its funny to see that Japan can export 1.7 million cars and us about 40K to Japan..no wonder we got a trade deficit...
When investing always start with an assumption that the stock market is dead wrong.
