The May madness continued on Wall Street yesterday. Sure, it was another all-time high for the Dow Industrials and the S&P 500, but the most interesting news was the "Tuesday trend." Stock prices were up yesterday, making it 19 consecutive Tuesdays the Dow has finished in positive territory. That is the longest single-day winning streak since 1968 and more evidence of the scope of the 2013 rally. You know the market is really firing on all cylinders when the bears finally decide to go into hibernation. It has reached a point where doom and gloomers just sound stupid as they come up with lame excuses for the rally and continue to plead for a correction. Hang in there, a correction most surely will come, but stop trying to act like you know more than everyone else.

Uncertainty about the future direction of actions by the Federal Reserve sent stock prices lower on Wednesday.

Stocks paused -- and I do mean paused -- yesterday to digest the record setting run in stock prices last week. The Dow Industrials were down 19 points -- a loss of 0.12 percent -- a decline small enough to be a rounding error. And, out of the gate this morning, the index is up more than 50 points as a series of quarterly earnings reports from retailers came in better than expected. Some market observers will be watching today close very closely. The Dow and S&P 500 have advanced for 18 consecutive Tuesdays, the longest day of the week streak since 1968. Keeping the run alive would be an endorsement of the rally. Snapping it would have the bears jumping up and down with glee.
