Gold and silver are up.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">All the indexes closed at new highs yesterday. The Dow, S&amp;P 400 mid caps, S&amp;P 600 small caps and Russell 2000 small caps closed at all-time highs. Offering a laundry list of reasons the market is not supposed to go up will fall on deaf ears. The market is moving up. That&#8217;s the bottom line. That&#8217;s the only thing that matters.

Thinking too much can get you into trouble. Trading is a game where knowing a little is good, but knowing too much can be bad. With that, there&#8217;s nothing more for me to say right now. There&#8217;ll be a correction soon. Have a plan in place for how you&#8217;ll deal with it.
