2012 has not been a good year for stock market bears. Our short positions have been stopped in their tracks and we are currently standing aside dusting ourselves off.
Of course, it would be easy to blame our miscalculations on the fact that successive rounds of Quantitative Easing on both sides of the Atlantic have resulted in a very large increase in liquidity with nowhere for the mountains of cash to go except the stock market. But, that would just be sour grapes, wouldn't it?
October, which is traditionally the most bullish month of the year, especially if we ignore the rather unfortunate statistical aberrations of 1929, 1987 and 2008, has not disappointed those of us who have kept faith in the market recovery. The current consensus amongst Fund Managers is that the market is primed to rally until year-end.
So, the worst is over.
