A relentless march to another record high for the ASX today despite thin volumes ahead of key US payrolls data tonight. It was the third consecutive weekly gain for the local market. Banks were, once again, in the thick of it with all majors closing up more than 1% and energy stocks were up on renewed optimism around the oil price. CSL also has a good day perhaps by helped by a sharp fall in the AUD overnight.

Triple threat; Gaurav Sodhi's buy and avoid list
