I guess you are ignoring the threat of the Head and Shoulder formation, which is of course your choice. Im not saying that the H&S will be completed, but I wont ignore that possibility as you do. Considering todays performance as being very bullish could be a BIG MISTAKE, and you could be right. Today did not set a higher high but did form a MINI-DOUBLE top if tomorrow is negative By the way I have a CLASS 1 SELL signal on a closing basis for the NAZ and NDX. If we dont see some sort of a pullback then I may get a negated signal and the NAZ may then take off, and I will be wrong. My point is not whether you or I are right or wrong, but that its premature to become very bullish, as you stated. If you dont agree with me on the 4300 level then at least wait to see if yesterdays highs are taken out significantly. Again it could simply be a mini-double top. When someone says to me that something is very bullish, I take as if that person is aggressively adding to their position, to the point they are even adding on margin if that person plays with margin. If one says its very bullish and in fact didnt add, then I consider that such person may have an alternative agenda and I did say may. If its not an alternative agenda then it may just be BS. Of course that mainly applies to individual stocks not an index. So I presume you added aggressively, since I dont consider you a BS'er. Good luck then, you may be a little premature to add aggressively. I may have just added a little to start with than add on, rather than going aggressively now. seeya
