Good Evening, The promise of Trump tax reforms drove the market to eek out new highs for another day. The Dow was able to add to it’s record high for a seventh straight day which is probably a record in and of itself.  At any rate I’ll take it. The charts for equities continue to trend higher. As a result we remain in the game.
