I’m quite confident that this will fall of deaf ears in a market dominated by mindless dip-buyers who have decided the phrase “against my better judgement” is always the right way to think about buying overvalued financial assets, but for anyone interested, Goldman is out with a new presentation warning that “hope led the market to 2400 in 1Q but reality supports a 2300 year-end target.”
There are now effectively “two Americas,” the bank writes – one inside the Beltway and one outside:

Here’s the only slide you need:
Wells Fargo says down 8% by end of year.
