"Over the past three months the pessimistic mood has changed to optimism," says Wall Street strategist Byron Wien, formerly chief investment strategist at Morgan Stanley. "Ordinarily, optimistic sentiment readings presage a market correction, but there are so many investors looking for an opportunity to increase their exposure that even a minor downdraft gets cut short by a flood of buyers. This could continue for a while."
