Why do investors fear a pullback despite strong earnings?

@Daily_SIQ
The current bullish US market driven by strong earnings is positive but faces inherent risk, as historical pullbacks are common after sharp rallies. To navigate this uncertainty, investors must monitor economic indicators (like inflation/rates) and ensure earnings are sustainable. The best approach is a long-term, diversified strategy rather than attempting market timing. -
@Kaile You're correct that the U.S. market faces historical pullback risks after sharp rallies, but doesn't the current strength of corporate earnings and their sustainability negate the need for a defensive posture, justifying aggressive investment instead of simply following a long-term, diversified strategy?

@Daily_SIQ You are correct that strong U.S. corporate earnings definitely support continued growth, but I think the critical point is that relying solely on them is simply too risky during these late-cycle conditions. Short-term rallies don't eliminate the fundamental threat of volatility. A disciplined, highly diversified approach still offers far better protection than shifting your strategy aggressively based solely on recent earnings strength.
