A frothy stock market? That’s just fake news, says MktwHulbert

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Is the bull market reaching the frothy, speculative stage that is the typical hallmark of a major top?

Consider a stock market sentiment index that was introduced 15 years ago by Harvard Business School professor Malcolm Baker and New York University finance professor Jeffrey Wurgler. In a landmark study published in the prestigious Journal of Finance, they reported that their index had an impressive historical record identifying periods of extreme bullishness or bearishness.
