In this edition of Market Factors, we tackle a plausible argument that investor sentiment is overheated to the bullish side and the rally is overdone. It’s Outlook 2025 forecast season and Darcy Keith reviews the accuracy of prognostications last year . There’s more bad news as an expert opinion disproves the geological validity of cartoons.
