Bull market ended in Jan 2018 all over the world. If globalism has connected the world exponentially over the past 2 decades why would our market be the ONLY market to continue on while everything else remains 10,15,20+% off their highs?

As a reminder, lumber prices are a great leading indicator of future earnings. When lumber prices fall over a 12-month period, then EPS follows 6 months later. Although there is no immediate recession on the horizon, a market downturn is possible

Sure, but if we look at how they were positioned in September 2018, you can see they were more overweight cash than today (z=1.2 standard deviations in sept vs 1.0 today)
