US equities saw a mixed day, but with notable new historic highs in the Transports (9310), and the sp'500 (2075), but settling -5pts at 2067. Outlook is for the low sp'2100s before year end... and then a minor retrace of 4-6%.

Summary
Yes, the R2K saw considerable weakness in late morning... but then...with new historic highs in two indexes.. equity bears can't get in the least bit excited about things.
There is zero reason why the market can't keep on clawing higher.. at least to the sp'2110/30s... before a moderate pull back.
The only thing that is holding the market lower than it otherwise would be... the energy sector... but then lower energy prices are bullish for the rest of the economy. In the bigger picture, its a small trade off.. nothing for the equity bull maniacs to be concerned about.
