Despite the currently red indexes.. it is utterly a joke for any of the doomer bears to be calling this anything than what it really is... another day when the broad based sp'500 achieved a new historic high of 2125.

Back in early summer 2013 when I waved the white flag against the deflationary collapse scenario - that many still cling to... well, we were in the sp'1500s then. 

We simply won't be trading under those levels... again.

notable strength: AAPL, +0.9% in the $131s.

Without question, one of the top 3 tech companies in the world.. set to report in AH.. probably around 4.30pm. The $140s are just about possible if expectations are surpassed.
