Good Friday afternoon. Yesterday’s trading was a bears worst nightmare and it looks to be repeating today.

Good Wednesday morning. Bad things may happen at extreme overbought levels, but not when we’re in a bull market melt-up phase. As we see it, that’s exactly where we are, as we head into Q2 earnings. Dips will be short-lived, followed by dramatic moves higher.  For more than 15 years the VRA’s primary "market direction” indicator […]

Throw in some tariff uncertainty along with […]
