‘I sold all my equity exposure today’: Pro

The six-day rally in the S&P 500 suggests a "topping process" for stocks is in the making, Brian Kelly of Brian Kelly Capital said Tuesday.

"I don't know if this is the absolute top, but this is what you see when you start to see markets start to get disconnected from their fundamentals," he said.

On CNBC's "Fast Money," Kelly noted that shares of blue-chip stock IBM had lagged the rally.

"The reason why I bring that up is because they are in every business, and they're about capital spending," he said. "IBM has done nothing here."

The signal Kelly saw in IBM's price action led him to exit the stock market.

"For my part, I can tell you what I did today. I sold all my equity exposure today," he said, adding that he was in "100 percent cash."

Kelly said that he wasn't necessarily seeing gloom ahead.

"I wouldn't go so far as to say putting the bear suit on," he said. "But I bought emerging markets. I bought U.S. stocks. I bought some European stocks. They've had a phenomenal run here, so why not take some off the table?"

Anthony Scaramucci of SkyBridge Capital said that accommodative monetary policy had fueled the bull market.

"I think the market is going a little faster than people expected because I don't think the Fed is going to taper as quickly as people suggest," he said. "A $10 billion taper is not really much of a taper. This is very lax monetary policy, and I think that that's what's affecting the markets right now. My biggest worry with these markets is that there's no top-line growth."
