Hi Don, glad to see you back "in pocket".

Well, the market behaved pretty much as we thought. Though a week ahead of schedule.

Did you notice that stocks were being bought today, when in the similar scenario, they were being sold a month or two ago.

Dollar weak. No problem. Oil at record high. No big deal. US getting deeper in the Iraq quagmire. The market didn't notice. The Afghan/pakistan much ballyhooed spring offense fizzled out. Who cares. Bombs found in rail beds. Oh, it can wait.

I guess, when the crowd wants to buy, they buy no matter what.

Actually, I don't like the sooner than expected (by me) rally. It makes stocks vulnerable to sell-off when earnings reports come out. That is a particularly vexing problem for me, because WDC's report is on the 22nd. I expect excellent earnings. (25c/sh). But by then the mood might have shifted to profit taking.

Oh, well. They never make it easy. I hope you had some irons in the fire today.
