Bull versus Super Bull

I was trying to find a case of bull versus bear, but the majority of the commentary has turned quite bullish so you’ll have to settle for one side of the debate this time.  This segment brings you bull versus super bull.  Here we have Dean Maki, Chief US Economic of Barclays and Tobias Levkovich, Chief US Equity Stratgist at Citigroup.

Maki’s outlook summarized:

  • The US economy is stronger than most presume.
  • Recent data shows no recession imminent.
  • Corporate profits have slowed.
  • Europe will resolve their issues, but problems remain.
  • The Fed will NOT launch QE3 in September.
  • Gasoline prices will challenge consumers in the coming months.
Levkovich’s outlook summarized:
  • Expect “significant” stock market gains in the coming 6-12 months.
  • The panic/euphoria model is still showing excessive pessimism.
  • Don’t look at the VIX for market directionality.

Super bull Tobias Levkovich:
