Summary

The week began on a positive note, the SPX opening broadly higher, and building significant gains, breaking a new historic high of 4489.

El-Erian believes that inflation will be anything but the Fed's 'transitory'. I agree with him in that we'll know by year end. By then though... the society/species might have other more important concerns.

The afternoon saw increasing chop, but still settling sig' higher. Volatility was ground lower, the VIX settling -7.6% to 17.15.
