GETTING HIGH AGAIN

After back to back 250 point up days on the DJIA, markets on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed at new highs last week. Technically, the Momentum studies bode well for more highs to follow near term - just about everyone agrees. Not saying a Correction is not possible.
Since WWII (or before) there has never been a decade without a Recession - and if we have one in the next four years (usually @ the Zero year of the Decile cycle) it should be a doozy, with the outstanding debt. Even Margin Debt rocketed to new highs at $537B due to low rates; when they go up ....
as the numbers below show, Breadth was positive last week - new highs, Advances over Declines, and MMF $ flows (money markets) reversed from Out to In bigtime - retail investors are IN.
