Dipy, re modest volume: It's one of several concerns led by valuation with rates still around 5 1/2 and an S&P 99 P/E around 25 I believe. However unless bullish sentiment gets extreme and/or rates rise even higher I don't see anything to do other than have a reasonable cash/fixed income level and go along for the ride

Re:the recent rises in the indexes have been on very light or even anemic volume.

Another bad sign is lack of stocks hitting new 12 month highs

I remember bull markets when new highs were half the stocks, and new lows were virtually nil.
