Economic Journal - Tuesday, 3/12/2013

(As of 7:18 am PST)
 
Irrepressible is the term that best describes today's market.  Just when it appears that profit taking will take a bite out of market gains, another wave of buying pushes indexes to new highs.  International news is mixed and no significant economic reports are out yet today, but the Dow Jones Average has reversed itself from the negative, and if activity of the prior week is any indication, other markets will follow. Optimism abounds.  In the meantime commodities have joined the parade.  Oil and gold are up about 1% and most other commodities are higher.  The US dollar index is down as risk is not a great concern in this frothy market.
