    Doug Kass, who called the market bottom, now thinks we're approaching a top: "The economic outlook for the second half of 2010 still looks less than certain, especially relative to the magnitude of the market's rise and to the rise in animal spirits that has accompanied it."

    Doug also called a top about 10 months ago.

    Irrational sine/co-sine waves are the new norm ever since '.com' was added to every brokerage house since 1998.

    The fact that we've 'gotten ahead of ourselves' means that technology has created more beta in the market.

    Kass should know this, but he wanted a soundbite.

    We're overbought now, so it's about time again for the talking heads to come out and try to spook the market down while they short it.

    The temporary top will either be this week or Monday.

    The markets are easier to call now since the trading desks of the IBs have reduced exposure(size) in recent months.

    If you are a buyer at today's prices you are a bigger gambler than I. Never overstay your welcome at your in-laws and the stock market. Cash is a position.

    This is very funny and must be wrong!

    Kass was just on CNBC exactly ONE MONTH ago calling a market bottom!!!

    What a fool - maybe we should ask him for his definition of "top" and "bottom"...

    Uh, Kass has called more tops than a newbie to a nudist colony. I've written about a ton of them.

    Here is one of several:
