The entire rally in stocks post-2009 has been due to Central Bank intervention of one kind or another. Whether it be by cutting interest rates, printing money, buying bonds, or promising to do more/ verbal intervention, the Fed and others have done everything they can to push stocks higher.

 As a result, today, more than 90% of market price action is based on investors' perceptions of what the Central Banks will do… NOT fundamentals. For instance, if bad economic data hits the tape, the market tends to rally because investors believe this will result in the Fed having to print more money.

 Again, the primary driver of stocks is no longer fundamentals, but Central Bank intervention.

 There are many problems with this, not the least of which is the fact that we now know that Central Bankers will openly LIE about what they're doing. Consider the recent revelations concerning ECB President Mario Draghi's claim that he will do "whatever it takes" to hold the EU together.
