I too decided to throw the towel on the EA short.  I agree.  Analysts have been giving insiders at all companies all kinds of cover.  As long as rates remain low, this market will continue to defy those of us who know this will change once rates begin a multi year uptrend.  However, in the immediate and mid term, that is highly unlikely to happen.  With Europe in negative rate territory, it is likely to keep the Fed in place at least through end of year, and IMO possibly until next year.  This will keep fueling stocks, likely until they reach bubble territory.  I gotta keep myself from going short anything!!!
