Markets have surprised to the upside and could continue higher but short term risk is increasing. And for those who may think they have missed this train fear not as I also think markets are getting ahead of themselves and will correct.  And furthermore this is not the beginning of the next big rally.

And at the time of writing is actually down for the week in contrast to the rest of the market which is up 1.75% for the week to Wednesday.

It is truly a traders market and will be for some time. So savour it.

Enjoy the ride
