And I don't think most people should be pouring money into shares on the basis of *any* indicator, but rather they should invest as part of a long-term plan which doesn't try to time markets. That said, I'm seeing green shoots everywhere in the economy and am feeling -- for what it's worth -- pretty bullish about the market right now on a five year view.

That said, I’m seeing green shoots everywhere in the economy and am feeling — for what it’s worth — pretty bullish about the market right now on a five year view.

I just think no one should be fooled into pouring money into shares on the basis of one indicator.
