One of my favorite comics, the late, great Gilbert Gottfried (not the late, great Hannibal Lecter you’ve heard so much about this week) often said his secret fantasy was that he’d be backstage the club, waiting to go on, and the club’s owner would come back and tell him there had been a flood and, here’s your check, you can go home. I’m afraid in recent weeks that’s precisely how I’ve been feeling, which is utterly uncharacteristic of my entire life. That feeling had better change soon. In the span of just four weeks. from April 19 to May 17, the markets have all exploded to lifetime highs, with the /NQ alone adding about 1,800 points. That’s more than ten percent. In four weeks.
