Comment: Market is in a holding pattern thanks to the computer algos which buy on every dip. We’re still overbought at nosebleed levels but until sentiment changes, nothing changes. CSX is the poster child for overbought: a railroad company rising like a 1999 Internet stock. No one can predict the date and time, but the market is way overdue for a nasty pullback. And if sentiment also changes, that pullback could be worse than expected. 

Update: CSX is on a roller coaster ride. It sank after earnings were announced (-4%), but then rallied back the next day (+23%). FYI, it was a bull raid, a classic short squeeze.
