Good morning. Happy Thursday.<\/span>
\nThe Asian\/Pacific markets closed mixed and with a bullish slant. Europe is currently trading mixed and with a bearish slant. Futures here in the States are flat.

\nI am beyond the point of having anything interesting to talk about because the market has a one track mind…it just keeps going up and nothing puts in its path or thrown its way matters. For my own personal trading it’s been great because I’ve been able to hold positions much longer than usual. In fact from a trading standpoint, making money has been fairly easy. If I wasn’t running the day to day operations of Leavitt Brothers, I wouldn’t be spending much time in front of my computer during the day – there’s been no reason to. But from a commentary standpoint, I’ve been tested because I don’t think there’s much to talk about yet I’m supposed to talk about stuff every day. \ud83d\ude42<\/span>
\nHere’s the 60-min SPX chart. Other than the brief pullback in November, the market has only moved in one direction. Perhaps my complete bordome with the movement and lack of interesting things to talk about is a sign a top is not far off.<\/span>
