My thoughts go out to you and your father... hope all is well and best wishes for a speedy recovery on his part...

The bears got another lesson this week.
IMHO the bears need to learn to appreciate 'uptrends' and stop calling tops.
Also not shorting after Fed meetings or shorting before jobs reports numbers (esp. when the US dollar is in an uptrend) - might make the bears lives easier also.
They (the bears) seem so angry and disillustioned that the market is going up. Best to keep in mind that the market can do whatever it wants.
Also... again context... we had end of the month buying and now beginning of the month buying - the funds want in. Why would anyone want to fight that - especially with the Fed obliging?
--
If gold can hold where it is (the magical $850 level) it will attract more buying in the commodity space - as it makes little sense to have stocks with declining earnings like financials keep going up - while those stocks with real earnings (ie: commodity stocks) go down.
Otherwise - looking to go short again - if gold and copper lead the commodity complex down more.
Enjoy your weekend...
nice
Just catching up.
Sorry to here about your Dad. I hope all is under control.
NG/Russell: Thank you for your well wishes. My Dad looks better today. He was not discharged as he has an infection (from the gall bladder, not from the hospital). Hopefully tomorrow he'll be home.
The market hands out daily lessons to both bulls and bears! I was happy to see my FSIN have a bit of a breakout today.
