Well...turns out NOT SO MUCH....

Have you noticed that nothing makes sense anymore in the markets...

So, read some analysts saying this is a big SUCKERS RALLY. That the big boys were on the wrong side of the election, so they hyped the market, and have been selling their shares. I wish I knew how this could be validated or whether its just more market propaganda.

At any rate, these facts are still facing us all in the face despite seasonality and volatility:

Dollar rising-profits reduced
Interest rates rising (?)Debt costs more to finance
Oil up–expense for business goes up(and individuals)
Housing begins falling as interest rates rise–less people qualify
with their $10-14$ an hour jobs.Works through the system.
Euro bank crisis (?)-equity markets drop(?)Consumer sentiment drops
Recession (if history holds true).
I’m agnostic personally on the market.A few more months of -divs and the piper will pay a visit.
