SOURCE EVIDENCE

"Corrections are just about always inevitable. What's not inevitable is timing, and that's what makes a bearish strategy so difficult. Even if you identify excessive valuations or a bubble that you're sure is going to pop, it can take months (or even years) before your hypothesis gets proven right."
