Just "buy" - everyone else is... what could go wrong?

It's been an interesting year so far... equities are unstoppable, the dollar is tanking, gold is soaring, and bonds are tumbling...

This is easy... US Equities have 'suffered' only one down day in 2018 so far (in fact Trannies haven't seen one down day)...

BTFD!!

Putting this move in context:

Trannies best start to a year since 1983

S&P best start since 1987

Dow best start since 1997

Nasdaq best start since 2004

"Never gonna let you down"

The Dow is up 1060 points in 2018 - 5 names account for more than half those gains (BA, CAT, IBM, MMM, and UTX added 555 points!)

But thanks to panic-buying in NFLX and AMZN, FANG Stocks exploded higher off-the-lows today...

And while stocks are surging, Treasuries are tumbling - suffering the biggest total return loss since 2006... (worst 2 week drop in 3 months)...

Yields ended the week higher across the curve, but look at the strength in the long-end the last 3 days...

After steepening dramatically after the China headlines, the yield curve collapsed back flatter to end the week unchanged...

2Y Yields are now 18bps higher than the dividend yield of the S&P 500...

High yield bonds had the worst week in the last 6, decoupling from stocks...

The dollar plunged most since March 2017 today to the lowest in 4 months... (5th week down in a row)

One wonders if this is the short-term low?
