I receive e-mails warning of a problematic second half of the year

I receive them from financial advisors. An impending bearish trend is at the door, they believe. I don't think it's true so let's see who will be right, me who am a tennis player

(first of all) or these financial advisors. .  

I will tell you, this market doesn't look nearly as sick to me, as the price action in the Naz make it seem. I view the relative strength in the small and mid caps as a sign that this market still has sponsorship and that we're not heading into a Bear, by any means.

thank you, it's exactly what it seems to me. Luckily I have come to learn over the years not to care much about the e-mails that I get in my mail box even when they come from respectul financial sdvisors 

like the one that recently sent to me his warning. 

I meant ''respectable'' instead of respectful. It's early morning here and it's very hot out there, so I need some time before starting to connect things. 

Hot weather is not for me, I suffer it too much.  

24°C very early morning  -  34 °C late afternoon (a couple of days we also hit  35-36 °C), some say there's not such a thing as climate change, but I don't remember to have suffered it so much. Always suffered it, but this is really too much.

Naw, we've just cycled back to weather that was in the 70's.  The only reason it seems like its worse now is because of social media, when you look at the data its no different.  We just barely broke a heat record here that was set in 1976 and 1918 lol!! 

whatever it is, i need to buy a house in the mountains surrounding my province. There are some places there which are 1,100 mt above sea level that are kissed with 24 °C as highest daily temperature 

when here in the plain we get 34 °C, that is heaven. 

Here in SW Ohio, there are times at this time of year that we go several days only going from A/C to A/C, with no willingness to do anything outside. I hate that.

34C, how about balmy 48C? I can walk 2 miles in 43C, any longer than 40min is too dangerous. I go to a store and buy ice cream.

I couldn't live there. However climatic changes are real, because here we used to have  32 °C in Summer as highest daily temperature. I was sixteen and it was Summer, I was going to play the semi-final 

of a tennis tournament and, as the school was closed for the Summer holiday, they asked me to play at 11.00 a.m. well knowing that I suffer when it's hot. The match lasted more than two hours till 9-8 in

the third set, when I retired due to my phisical problems caused by the hot weather conditions. Nowadays I could hardly play 10 minutes at 11.00 a.m. 

So that is enough to me to understand that the climatic changes are real. When you get out in mid afternoon you feel your skin burning and the air is literally boiling.

Is this the new Europe ? This is a climatic nightmare. Better if China starts to reduce its CO2 emissions otherwise half world becomes a desert.
