However, money, especially money managed by most active funds, has to flight somewhere to seat. You might say they can go to bond market. Well, with negative real interest rate implied by TIPS, that is not wise to go. What about commodity? Not all funds can access to those assets. The commodity market not only links to QE but also connect to economic outlook. That is why recent commodity market tumbles even after FED announced the potential additional stimulus.
The group rotation brought technology and materials stocks back to yesterday’s leadership. Industrial metals rose following a wider-than-expected trade surplus. Energy, utilities and consumer discretionary stocks were flat to lower. All of these suggest investors require a lower market premium for their investment. Is this the whole pictures right now? You keep wondering why market keeps going up without a pause under low volume? This leads us to discuss next meaningful question, do we expect a huge pullback soon?
After analyzing the earning reports by those big institutions, such as, JP Morgan , Morgan Stanley, and BOA, I tend to update the picture to a more realistic one - we may not see a huge pull back in May. Let's take a look at too-big-to-fail banks' reports.

You will ask where those trading revenue come from, the tiny notes said a big portion of that came from them selling insurance to clients. Pause here, what "insurance" are they talking about? yes, in financial industry, the "insurance" is the put option. Now when those big banks are all writing the put options, do you expect big institutions such as GS to bet huge market downward slope? Remember, they are too big to fail banks, which have access to capital market with huge financial resource to gauge market internal. Therefore, I will not bet against them, at least not in the following two weeks.
I will keep eyes on the market and update the market review whenever I see something new.
