The Transport Bull Market: It’s Official. It’s Amazing

We pointed to this rally last week and said things aren’t as bad as most think.
Yesterday, the transports said things aren’t just “not bad,” they’re getting pretty good. The “transports” reached an all-time high. This index depends on demand for goods and commodities shipped by rail, road, air, and water. This all-time high tells us business is booming.
