“In a speculative market, what counts is imagination and not analysts.” - Benjamin Graham 

“Booms start with some tie-in to reality, some reason which justifies the increase in asset values, and then -- and this is the critical feature of speculative mood -- the market loses touch with reality. What we do know is that speculative episodes never come gently to an end. The wise, though for most the improbable, course is to assume the worst.” - John Kenneth Galbraith

Stocks were striving to keep up their efforts to keep posting new highs, with mixed results.

 Gold and silver were slightly higher.

The Dollar was lower but managed to hang on to the 94 handle with its fingernails.

The VIX was slightly higher.

And the band played on.

Have a pleasant evening.
