TUES: Could Ambac/PMI bad news kick this dog back down the stairs?

Not yet, both SP500 & NDX put in new short term highs and are about to run into secondary resistance.

Driving force: Europe & Japan confirm grim global stagflation = Dollar continues to firm vs Yen & Euro =

Commodities continue pullback = positions are liquidated and shifted to equities.

Often wrong, but never in doubt, this is the Nattering Naybob and you're not.
