Beware of poisoned food...

I am hearing so many comments these days about how well are stock markets performing (making year highs, Nasdaq is up 86% just one year after the crash..etc). This seems to be a economy's results banquet if you only read newspapers. Some investors may feel tempted to jump in; hey you don't want to miss another rally like last one right?.
After all, banquet=food, and food=satisfaction. I'd agree, but be careful, if the food is poisoned, staying away may be the wisest option, yeah, you need to control your greed in order to do that but a quick look at some very basic fundamentals should make you think twice...

So banks and techs making highs uh? Who are they going to sell their products and credits to?

Yes, but the trick behind may have an end soon:
