The question uppermost on everyone's mind was whether we're in the midst of a buying opportunity destined to give us meteoric stock returns, or whether this is another head fake. To take a chance, I will say that this rally looks like a head fake to me, a manufactured upswing that will lure many unwary investors into further investment in a dangerous market that looks much more like a bear than a bull, if you apply a true critical lens.
