Summary

..and another wacky week in market land comes to a close.

Regardless of how we open next Monday morning, the bigger weekly charts are offering at least a few more weeks to the upside...so..for bears, its arguably time to sit back..and take a break.

Good to hear from some of you today..and across the week. It does help to know you're out there!

Have a restful weekend everyone!
