There is a saying that you don’t ring bells at the top.
It’s not really true. Every time the market forms a major peak, at least in the last 15 years, there are usually a preponderance of signs of excessive speculation and leverage.
Today we are seeing bells ringing throughout the markets.
For instance, today, we have:
1) Corporate debt is at 2007 peak levels.
2) Investor bullishness is at extremes not seen since the 2007 top.
