All the comparisons to 2000 seemed a little far-fetched.........until today.

Before the opening bell, I was looking at my iPad from the comfort of my bed, and I took a few screen shots for posterity.

First, the fact that a brokerage's highly-elevated new price target was already exceeded before the market even opened for the day........

The fact that, pathetically, even ZeroHedge has started promoting equity bullishness:

0424-zhads

And the real kicker, straight out of early 2000, a call for the NASDAQ to double again......in a year.........just because..........big, round numbers.

Wow, Tim!  I'm surprised they let you put that up here.  Maybe the Tylers just haven't gotten around to reading it yet.

One of the problems with ZH model of advertising is it becomes difficult to see the ads from the articles. "Sponsored by:" is a good clue thought.

P/E ratios dont mean shit to foreign capital is running for it's life and domestic funds that if not deriving reasonable yield die from a cash flow coronary.  There is nothing rational about this market at all.  We are waaaaaaaay deep into much darker place now.

"I went long precious metals, shorted equities, and am enjoying my prosperity" said no one, ever.

I have AdBlock Edge and never see those ads on ZH, thankfully.

"South Seas Company shares selling fast!  Get yours before they're gone! 

Free black tulip bulb with purchase!"

Actually, ZH runs five times as many bearish ads as bullish ones.  Today there are ads for Ron Paul's financial advice !!

If you block the ads, you miss a lot of cute Asian chicks looking for middle aged husbands, plus lots of other random interesting things.  You can learn a lot about the economy and society from noticing what's being advertises where.

Though I had to disable flash because the deluge of flash video ads was crashing my browser.

I am sure that JPM is working on it.  Just need to put the machines into 7-11's like little poker consoles.  Right next to the Colt 45 and MD20/20.
