tracie: we think it was.hen we look back at year two of bull markets, what we find, historically, is that most bull markets in year two were up. since 1967, every second year the bull market has been higher. and on average, it has been up 12.7%. but, the other side of that is that it has been more volatile in year two. each of those years we have seen nearly a 10% correction. so, some volatility here is probably to be expected, but we would use it as a buying opportunity. haidi: i'm looking at these numbers when it comes to short interest in the s&p 500 members, it's about 1.6 percent, which is close to a 20 year low, at least a 17 year low. does this suggest that there is euphoria. in for the reddit phenomenon, that no investor wants to push against the tide. tracie: investors are looking at the reopening, looking at all of the stimulus, low interest rates, sat on the sidelines and saying, this is a great time to be invested in equities, not as good a time to be investing in bonds. so more interest in equiti
