We had an ugly jobs report, but the bulls were indeed hungry to buy and we rallied into the close.  The S&P 500 came within a couple points of a new high for the year.  Gold made a late move and many of the metal stocks closed very strong. Traders are fearful of being left behind.  There were even rumors of QE 3 flying around! In addition, many bulls view the tax cut extension as a “sure thing”.  We are so close to highs for the year, there will be strong pressure to make at least a marginal high in the near term.  Have a Nice Weekend. 

*****We also had a special guest in the free chatroom today.  Mr. Hanna from Quantifiable Edges brought some great insights.   Check it out in the Chatroll archives.
