10am update - opening minor gains

For the tenth day running (I think), the market opens to the upside. The Dow has finally broken above the Dec'31st high of 16588, and the 17000s look likely in May. Metals are moderately lower, Gold -$5. Despite the index gains, VIX is a little higher, but still..in the low 13s.
