Never Going Down

It feels like we have an endless uptrend.  The money flows in the beginning of January are always tough to fade on the short side.  I assume an avalanche of pension fund money came into the market yesterday, and probably some leftover for today and tomorrow.  It is notable that bonds were weak yesterday, which probably means pension funds were selling bonds to raise cash to buy stocks. 

I still believe we top this week, but I don't want to go all in here, waiting to get short in stages.
