common sense says that the recent rise in dow is ludicrously o'done, but common sense and markets rarely make good bedfellows

Cheers cyners a very lucky week. Having said that Im sat here this morning feeling shattered. Didnt half put some hours in last week, at least 2 days into the wee hours of the morning around 5am and then back up at 7.20 am pre market.
Going to just rest this weekend not even going to the match, given my place up to an old lad who goes to my local drinking hole and its his 65th birthday so I hope it makes his day.
I know hes thrilled to bits just to be going.
Ive got a feeling in my bones that we are going to have a Christmas rally, just think it will be steady as she goes going up to it.
When you get too many doom mongers about you know its going to go the other way.
Anyway have a good weekend.
