About market, Indices rested today not too far from its close on Friday. Sometimes TAPE needs to catch its breadth. I do not expect too much pullback here, some digestion of gains. Buying on any weakness have paid off big time.

TAPE on the verge of "blowoff phase".......

This TAPE is ignoring all negatives & loving all positives, when was the last time this happened......

I do not recall when TAPE was this "defiant"

This is a clear signal that we have entered a "blowoff" phase......

Blowoff phase is when there is a "straight line upward move"

As we are sitting in S&P 500 @ 1709.67.....an absolute highest close in history.........we are primed for a very quick run to 1800.......

The momentum of this TAPE has caught many participant off guard......it is only going to get worse......

Many are locking gains which in hindsight could be taken as entry point or a point of letting the gains run to its highest potential.........

This TAPE has the feel of a "runaway market"

This TAPE is telling you to close your eyes & wake up in 2014 mid January ......& you will like what you see in terms of gains.........

There is lot of "catching UP to do by millions".......

Many portfolio managers are sitting on a pile of cash waiting for a "correction" which never seems to come.....

Even mom & pop are actively thinking of joining this "gold rush".........

Very rarely that one sees a one way market.......that is exactly what we have.......

Many new sectors are on the verge of "catching a bid"

SO..do not ditch anything but get more diversified in laggards......

It is laggards who are going to take centre stage NOW.....

Strong stocks will remain strong but may lag behind laggards......

Now we are entering "all boats will be lifted" phase.......

This is a "major bull market which has entered a new blowoff phase"
