One thing i find interesting is many who think we can continue to go higher, of which i am one, at least realise the possibility of a descent retracement yet a lot of the bears can only see one direction.

The fact is that there are bears and bulls that see only one direction, and bear and bulls who allow for the possibility of a decent move in the other direction. There are also those who don't care or don't have an opinion.
