Considering where we are positioned on the calendar with the majority of money managers underperforming the indices by a wide margin - the prospects of a massive squeeze into the New Year is a very real possibility.

Underperforming the indices by 10%, rather than 5% is all the motivation they will need to blindly chase the market here.
