Wow!

Up 2.75-5.25% on the major indices today. Looks like we got enough of a “fix” out of Europe. Earnings, although somewhat mixed, didn’t seem to get in the way.

It’s not a good idea to chase them, especially since the market technically is overbought, and many charts look extended. If one were feeling left out, adding to laggards could work, as long as earnings are out of the way or seem safe. I’m also seeing a few good stocks not too far above trend lines.

Traders should take some off the table. Investors, aside from my comments above, should wait for trend line support to catch up with the stocks/funds on their buy list.

As always, email or call with questions (or answers :) ) Bob
