Good morning. Happy Tuesday.<\/span>
\nThe Asian\/Pacific markets closed mixed – there were no 1% movers. Europe is currently mixed – no 1% movers there either. Futures here in the States point towards a flat or slightly down open for the cash market.

\nThe market moved slowly and in a tight range yesterday. Most indexes gained a small amount, but nothing happened to change the market. Commodity groups did great; consumer related groups lagged. It was just another day on Wall St. that saw the market keep chugging along and several indexes make new highs.<\/span>
\nThere really isn’t much to say. I can’t remember a time when the market was so consistently one-sided. It keeps going and going and going…making new high after new high…absorbing everything and anything throw in its way. I have no idea when it will end, and I’m not going to guess. This doesn’t mean you buy randomly and hold indefinitely because money is still rotating from group to group to group, but overall it’s been better to buy and milk trades than constantly trade in and out. Here’s the 60-min SPX chart. One measely pullback in Nov is all the bears have been able to muster.<\/span>
