It is getting frothy out there. We are in the midst of yet another V shaped rally off a bottom, similar to so many during the quantitative easing era. Earnings from Google (GOOG) yesterday seemed to light a fire under all the momentum type of stocks, especially the technology type today. The NASDAQ surged 1.32% and the NASDAQ gained 0.65%, as we have seen an almost straight up move since a week ago Wednesday. We don't show the 5 day moving average on our charts since it is a very short term indicator, but the indexes are as far above their 5 day moving average than they have been at any point in 2013. So we are at a bit of an extreme level.

Google (GOOG) was the superstar today, with the type of move it used to do 5+ years ago.

As Google went so went the Chinese version, Baidu (BIDU) - a name we have highlighted many times the past few months.

Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) also had a monster day post earnings.

The fast-casual restaurant chain posted better-than-expected sales and said it may lift prices in the middle of 2014 to offset higher food costs.
