[In spite of all that is seemingly wrong with the U.S. economy] I think we are on the verge of entering the euphoria stage of this cyclical bull market where traders become convinced that QE3 is a magic elexir with no unintended consequesnces. [As such,] I see a strong acceleration and a significant and sustained breakout above the S&P 500 September high of 1475. (Words: 264 + 3 charts)

So says Toby Connor (http://goldscents.blogspot.ca) in edited excerpts from his original article* entitled Euphoria Stage.

Connor goes on to say, in part:

[Those investors]… that have convinced themselves that QE is having less and less effect are about to be caught off guard as we move into the euphoria phase of the bull market. During this final phase, the character of the intermediate cycles should change and instead of a modest move above the prior intermediate top we should see a strong acceleration and a significant and sustained breakout above the September high of 1475.

You can see in the chart below in 2006/07 the intermediate cycle accelerated rapidly past the prior intermediate top at 1326 in a classic runaway move. While this certainly felt good at the time, it was the beginning of the end as the housing and credit bubbles began to implode.

Conclusion

I think we are on the verge of something similar as I believe QE3 will drive the market high enough to test or marginally break the all-time highs. However, it’s also going to start an upward spiral in commodity inflation that will eventually poison this fragile economy and be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
