The Dow rose 143 points today on good volume.  The advance/declines were close to 2 to 1 positive.  The summation index is moving lower.  I caught the flu over the weekend so the blog today will be cut short.  Hopefully I'll recover as the week goes on.  I'd still like to attempt the SPY February puts if we continue higher into Thursday.  GDX is still above its up trend line but another down day will break it.  More tomorrow.
