BS Summary: This article contains 15 faulty reasoning types, including Hindsight Bias, Post Hoc (False Cause), and Confirmation Bias, with Appeal to Authority as the most egregious example at 72.9% saturation with 78 hits. Analysis detected 393 faulty-reasoning hits from 107 analyzed words, generating a BS Score of 98.4% and a BS Rank of 99% (334 of 18,284 articles). This article is worse (more manipulative) than 98.20% of the article peer group.
Those trading macro and indexes in the past year, could have done far worse than listening to BofA's CIO, Michael Hartnett, who last December told the market that the bank's proprietary Sell signal had been triggered.
While stock ground in a narrow range for about two months after, they subsequently plunged and tumbled to a one year low on March 29, which was also the day Hartnett said that the "BofA sell signal ends, and policy panic begins."
That just happened to be the literal S&P market bottom.
So where are these opportunities?
