At the end of the day I realized I was seeing too many mixed signs about the market. I had been a converted bull for a few hours, buying break-outs like it was 2007, but then realized that after having some fun in the water, I shouldn't forget to watch for lurking sharks. I have a feeling some of the giddy bulls around here are going to get their prairie oysters shucked off unexpectedly and ground into oblivion.
I'm probably wrong. Hopefully I'm wrong--it'd be great to see a confirmation of a new bull market. We'd need two things to set a new trend, at least according to the Dow Theory:
The breakouts I bought today will SOAR if news turns out well in the next few days. I'll catch the late train and bank less dough, paying for my uncertainty.
