Everybody said dan is a downer hes not a downer, he pointed out the russell. 161. 5. That was the high back in may. These are pretty interesting levels the real high is at 173 that we traded back in august 2018 but the small caps are absolutely telling a story they have lagged the Broader Market for a while they seem to be catching up. The question is do we ratchet through this 161 level with the s p trading sideways for a while and retest that 173 high it certainly feels as though thats the next move so yes. Are you optimistic .
