RUNAWAY TRAIN

The question is: Did the the October runaway train just go into a tunnel in December,  or is it off track? History portends  a much higher market - see more Technical reasons at:

For now, the Sentiment Indicators seem mixed. Volume last week was very high, but the ratio of NYSE to NASDAQ was showing a more cautious note- below 1:2. Breadth and Price were positive, but the New highs/lows were not. Since the mid-October lows money has flowed into MMFunds every week - until last week, when it reversed. Per Barron's, U.S. equity funds had the largest WITHDRAWAL of money in 10 years - over $28B. Finally, Gold shorters (Commercials) remain strong, so that does not bode well at this time.

Here are  last week's numbers:
