    That said the dollar is pretty oversold here, it was bound to bounce sooner or later. :p Looks like markets coming off just a little. Nothing too dramatic.

    The dollar is definitely stirring things up here ... gold, oil and indices coming off a bit more.

    DXJ might be a good play if you think this dollar bounce will continue for awhile :p

    whelp, the SPX recorded its 13th closing ATH for jan. (a record for any january), and could be looking at setting a record for the most closing ATHs for any month in history. just saw a stat at the close that showed the most closing ATHs in any month in history for the SPX was in June of 1955 which saw 16 closing ATHs. if SPX closes green for the last 4 trading days of this month will = new record. :p

    starting to wonder if this is "selling into strength" in anticipation for the "surprise!! it's time for a correction" thing....

    Market pretty much closed at HOD, big caps outperformed small caps by a pretty big margins, so the big rally today probably had something to do with the weaker dollar.
