Year to date, 30 stocks are up more than 100% and another 90 stocks are up more than 40%. However, none of the big 5 have gone up by 100%. The 5 top stocks are up because of speculation from better margins, faster sales and earning growths and less debt. The market is probably stretched. The bond yields will probably go higher. Equities are technically overbought. Trading below the 50-day moving average would signal a correction of around 11%.

The correction may last over 1-2 months, but stocks should rise over the course of the year. There is no other alternative because of low yields from bonds. Stocks offer a compelling argument against bonds or short-term money. Looking at price to earnings growth, the big names are still at reasonable levels.
