Although the local market finished weaker on Friday, it was yet another positive week here in Oz helped by a stronger US market continuing its recovery. Both the All Ordinaries and the ASX 200 finished higher by 2.1% settling only marginally below 4,700 points.
As was the case last week, the major contributors were again the mining giants and the major banks.

Stocks are starting to look expensive. Given the stellar run we have had in recent months, I continue to maintain the view that a pullback is imminent.
