What’s driving the stock-market rally? How you answer that question determines if you are a bull or a bear. I have been thinking about this for some time.

I present them here in what I believe is their order of significance. You may come up with a different list of drivers, or simply a different order. If your order is the opposite of mine, then you might be more bearish than I am.
