The Pivot has started. Not by the Fed, which is not expected to begin lowering interest rates by the summer or fall. It's the stock market that has pirouetted, from bear to bull last October. The higher stocks rise in this miraculous, coming-from-nowhere rally, the more credibility this rally gains. If a new bull market

Going against the market consensus has been working pretty well lately. When the world prayed for a Santa Claus rally, I piled on the shorts.
