re: "Yesterday we were off 1% midday, but then recovered half of those loses."

Today, for the first time in a long while, I'm seeing predictions for a pullback on Marketwatch. Next week might get interesting.

I'm not keeping up with events this week. Staying in New Hampshire until the 10th . . . and loving it!

This is what I mean by a market that refuses to go lower.

Yesterday we were off 1% midday, but then recovered half of those loses. Today we were down almost three quarters of a percent, and by the bell, the Dow was positive, the SPX was flat, and the Nazz was down less than a 1/4%.

Last week, for all the sturm und drang, was a mere down 0.50%. That’s right, the seemingly worst week of the year (March 19th) was down less than a 1%.

I would prefer to see some backing and filling, some digestion of recent gains. A little selloff, less complacency would be healthy, before the next leg up. Ben apparently thinks otherwise, so we go higher. We did some rebalancing this week, but remain “miserably long.”

I am reminded of Duvall in Apocalypse Now: “Someday, this wars gonna end . . .“
