Summary

*a touch of weakness into the close, but still...the bulls managed to claw the market way above the morning lows.
--

Certainly, not a dull day.

Opening declines to sp'2085... but they sure didn't hold for long, with clear reversals... as especially seen via TLT and the VIX.

Overall, it would seem the market still has a high likelihood of breaking new historic highs (at least in some indexes).

*I hold short Gold - via GLD, overnight.
