"Based on the several hundred investment advisers I track, I'd have to say that bullish sentiment is approaching dangerously high levels. Consider the Hulbert Stock Newsletter Sentiment Index (HSNSI), which represents the average recommended stock market exposure among a subset of short term stock market timers tracked by the Hulbert Financial Digest.
It currently stands at 62.8%, up from 13.8% just one month ago. That's an awfully big jump for so short a period of time, especially considering that the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose a modest 4.4% over this period..."

"Overtime pay negates state employee furloughs in many cases. According to The L.A. Times: "Like many other state employees, prison nurse Nellie Larot was hit last year with furloughs that cut her salary: It dropped $10,000, to $92,000. But she more than made up for it by working extra shifts, raking in $177,512 in overtime, according to state records. Her total $270,000 in earnings last year eclipsed the $225,000 paid to Matthew Cate, head of the entire state prison system."

The Times added: "Records show that the top 50 recipients of overtime last year each received more than $100,000 in extra compensation. Most were from the departments of corrections and mental health, which account for more than half of the overtime doled out by state agencies; 35 of the top 50 were registered nurses." There are rising allegations that the state's overtime policies are being "gamed."

Alan Greenspan, the former chairman of the Federal Reserve and a self-described Republican libertarian, on Sunday reinforced increasingly confident assessments by the Obama administration that the nation’s latest job numbers reveal a resurgent economy.
“There is a momentum building up which is really just beginning, and it’s got a way to go,” Mr. Greenspan said on ABC’s “This Week” television program, when asked about Friday’s report that 162,000 jobs had been created in March.

Mr. Greenspan pointed out that corporate investment in new equipment “is coming back in a fairly substantial way” and that purchasing managers are building up product inventories for the first time in months.

“The momentum is very clearly there, and I doubt very much that we’re going to run out of that momentum until very late in the year,” he said, adding that the odds that the country would plunge anew into a recession have fallen significantly.
