My fingers are shaking while I type because this is the most painful part. It's not that I didn't have enough time with her. It's that she didn't have enough time with me.

The story inside the stock market has been all about rotation. It's like the baton keeps getting handed from sector to sector. One week it's energy and materials.

The S&P 500 hit an all-time high today, and it's doing it without any help from Amazon and Apple, two of the three biggest stocks in the index.
