Ted Oakley notes the extreme bullish sentiment and V-shaped market recovery, suggesting it indicates investors are eager to buy dips. However, he cautions that this momentum can't last forever and a market sell-off could occur when buying the dip no longer works.
“Well, it could be, but I think what that's indicating is that, you know, people couldn't wait to buy the dip again. And so they did. And so, that works, let's buy some more.”
“And you always take that to a point where someday, and I don't know what day that is, but someday, some month, you start to get selling in the market. And it won't be, it's one of those things where, uh, the next time you buy the dip and it it doesn't work.”
“In other words, you buy and, you know, it's like all bear markets, a month later you wish you hadn't.”
