The bull market is clear and present with new highs in large-caps, large-cap techs, mid-caps and small-caps. Micro-caps are the only missing component, but IWC is very close. Participation continues to expand with breakouts in the Industrials SPDR, Infrastructure ETF and Home Construction ETF. We are also seeing strength in airlines (JETS), defense (ITA) and space (UFO). The copper-related ETFs did not partake in the recent advance, but they are setting up with pullbacks and uptrends. Gold is also going for a breakout as Silver and TLT break out of bull flags.
