Market Canary In the Coal Mine Throws Up Red Flag

Another market canary in the coal mine has throw up a red flag today. That said, the Dow is once again trading at fresh record highs, just as is the S&P 500. This market looks more like a bubble with every day that passes. I suggest keeping tight stops!
Here is the headline today on Marketwatch:

"A stock-market index of small caps is at its weakest versus the S&P 500 since the financial crisis, suggesting the market has a liquidity problem."

Food Commodity Prices Continue Sharply Higher

This is the price of corn futures today. The price of corn and other food futures continue to rise sharply. Expect food inflation soon!
