Calling what we're experiencing a bull market is like calling the Grand Canyon a ditch.
First of all, this rally – the one that sprung us from the depths of the Great Recession, and has pushed the S&P 500 170% above its 2009 low – has largely regained lost ground. This historic "rally" has taken the bellwether index just 265 points beyond its October 2007 peak.

We're up only a modest 17% from the old highs.
I wouldn't call that overdone. I call that a leg to stand on. And it's just the first leg.
