Looks like the dollar rally stalled out and the energy complex got a huge boost. US and European markets ended in the green. Credit narrowed as well.

Thought for the weekend
One of the hardest parts about investing is that no matter what it is that you buy there will almost certainly be another investor, asset class, sector, fund or security that will be outperforming you at any given point in time. Behavior is the ultimate equalizer in the markets. Most investors will always prefer to invest based on a narratives over evidence.
