"We talked about a little bit of chase for performance," he said. "You're going to have all these portfolio managers that are going to get these new inflows of actual dollars that they have to put to work, no matter what their opinion of the marketplace is. I see the acceleration. I don't see any real correction in the next couple of weeks. I just want to keep buying it here."

Stephen Weiss of Short Hills Capital said that he was taking a pause.

"We're due for – not a major sell-off – we're due for a consolidation," he said. "The market should pull back maybe another 4, 5 percent, and then we're off to the races."

Weiss added that he was not putting on any new positions "just yet."

"The degree to which we're in may fluctuate, but always in," he said.

"Right now, the consensus thinking is that we're just going to muddle through," Brown added. "And if that's the case, you'd have to say that stocks are pretty fairly valued. It's hard to find even a bull who's going to tell you that stocks are cheap in a muddle-through scenario."

"However, there is a new dawning right now amongst a lot of market participants that maybe muddle-through is not guaranteed. Maybe we do something more. Maybe we have actual economic growth this time. There's no concrete evidence, but there are signs everywhere."

Brown added that the most recent Institute for Supply Management report was "red hot."

"We're actually buying the stocks we like," TheStreet CIO Stephanie Link said, naming such companies as Anadarko, Occidental, Timkin and Eaton.

"Those are names we've been buying on weakness because we do believe in the long-term stories," she added. "And on the flip side, you get some really good numbers, like Schlumberger and AIG, and we actually added to them, too, because the trends are still very favorable."
