Looks like there is a slow leak in a housing bubble.

 

"Instead of feeling that you’ve blown the day and thinking, "I'll get back on track tomorrow," try thinking of each day as a set of four quarters: morning, midday, afternoon, evening. If you blow one quarter, you get back on track for the next quarter. Fail small, not big."

In summary, the line of least resistance is still to the upside. Stocks are trying to break out, but there has not been a very convincing effort yet. If follow-through doesn't take place, the bears will take another shot at the market. Next week will be key for the markets. We're entering into sessional "cool-off" phase and have FOMC on Wednesday which could be a catalyst.

 

 A pullback wouldn’t surprise me with valuations stretched, growth rates peaking, the fed tightening liquidity, leverage near highs, a short squeeze underway and tax hikes on the horizon.

"You begin to awaken"

The beginning of freedom is the realization that you are not "the thinker." The moment you start watching the thinker, a higher level of consciousness becomes activated. You then start to realize that there is a vast realm of intelligence beyond thought, that thought is only a tiny aspect of that intelligence. You also realize that all things that matter - beauty - love - creativity - joy - inner peace - arise from beyond the mind.

You begin to awaken.
