But what has been surprising is the sheer strength seen from the broad market and leading stocks. They’re hot! And, as we had hoped, some new leadership is beginning to emerge during earnings season. Of course, investor sentiment is bubbly, earnings season is still ongoing and many stocks are extended, so some potholes are possible.
