As much as I disagree with David Rosenberg’s market posture the past 2 quarters, I am cognizant that he raises a very valid point when he notes:

“The latest Investors Intelligence poll shows the bull camp at 50% and the bear camp at 16.7%.  That bear-share is down to a six-year low.  Note the current level on the VIX index, it is at 21.12 — complacency reigns.”
