Jan 1: SPX just off all time highs around 2680 May 3: SPX tags up with MA200 and long term trend line, bounces hard on a lower low at 2620 July 1: SPX opens 2700 July 31: SPX above 2820 Seems to me like the bulls have had the upper hand all year. 6-month, 3-month, and 1-month trends solidly in tact. Any trend longer than that and "bear" markets look like noise. How is flipping this market possibly good for bulls? And what bull is disappointed with his portfolio this year?
