looking at 2000 coming...

(Bloomberg) -- Global equities from Europe to Asia rallied in February to multiyear highs, while the best month since 2012 for the Nasdaq Composite Index left the technology barometer within striking distance of its dot-com era record.
The Nasdaq Composite surged 7.1 percent, climbing within 60 points of its March 2000 high, as Apple Inc. rose 9.6 percent. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index increased 5.5 percent, rebounding from its worst month in a year with the biggest gain since October 2011. The MSCI All-Country World Index added 5.4 percent after rising to an intraday high on Feb. 26. The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index fell 36 percent for its biggest monthly drop on record.
“What we’re seeing is better signs of economic growth, strong earnings outside the energy and materials sectors,” Michael Strauss, chief investment strategist and chief economist at Commonfund Group in Wilton, Connecticut, said in a phone interview. The firm oversees about $25 billion. “That’s a support point for Nasdaq, given its lower exposure to energy.”
The Nasdaq is flirting with 5,000 after advancing for 10 straight days through Feb. 24, and is now 1.7 percent from its bubble peak. At its current pace, the index is poised to rise for nine straight quarters, a feat it’s never accomplished.
It has taken two bull markets and more than 4,500 days for the technology index to get close to making up all the ground lost in the dot-com collapse. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average reached all-time highs in October 2007 and again in March 2013.

XLE is looking interesting again with this pull back to 77/78.. hopefully, it can go below 75 area for another round for dip buying. 

Bull bull..  Still can continue charging?!!

Nasdaq 5000... . reminds me of DotCom bubble.. 15 years ago. 

overall PE is not so high though, just a little overpriced, not yet bubble i guess. 

such an awesome volatility for daytrading
  Happy Chap Goh Meh

not for day trading but usd1=rm3.6475!

Wow.. I haven't check exchange rate for a while.. how come ringgit getting weaker and weaker every month? 
I thought this is Oil related but then Oil price seems to have bottom and rising back above $60 now. 

strength of rm is surely oil price related esp when everyone is watching how big the fiscal budget deficit will actually be for the year.

but it's probably now being wrangled by the strength of the greenback, lack of fdi confidence and a string of juicy news incl 1mdb.

well... if you haven't noticed, the media is now harping less on the pain and more on the joy of how good a weak rm is for exports!

and i think a rate cut is on the cards...

last year, everyone kept saying rate hike. now, rate cut. what a ride, always unpredictable.

IMO, Msia real inflation is considered high relative to income and the rising household debt is big issue now because too many people borrowing too much speculate on real estate property and other gimmicks.

I think BNM should continue raise its OPR to another 25 basis point to 3.50 to curb these easy money. 

another volatile session coming, i think:
