Stock Market update -Nov 8th

Markets continued to rise this week. The S&P500 is almost back to being positive for the year, and to a new all time high. The Jobs report on Friday was far better than expected, causing Bonds to drop, with the expectation of an Interest rate increase in December. The Euro currency and Gold continued to drop as well.

Where do we go from here? We have some more earnings due out this week, but it's anyone's guess as to whether the rally will continue for yet another week. We are close to resistance levels and very overbought, so we could maybe see some consolidation or pullback.
