… and that concludes a Tuesday. With a new hist’ high, it was a day for the bulls. Today’s gains were far more impressive relative to the inflation day. For now… Mr Market is playing a game of self-delusion. It can’t possibly end well, but then… it never does.

*the s/t cyclical setup favours the bears, but again… bears should be on holiday until Sept’2nd.
