"Price leads fundamentals", or "Don't fight the Fed"?

Wall Street is full of adages. Technical analysts are fond of, "Price leads fundaments" as a way of dismissing macro and fundamental analysis. But traders are also warned, "Don't fight the Fed".

The bears can be found in macro and valuation, as equity markets are complacent about tight monetary policy and slowing growth.
