February 2010 Rewind - Grecian Formula

Overall Rating:
However, by the end of the month after clean tag of the S&P 500's 200-day ema, a significant snap back rally ensued that has pushed well into mid-March. This move left the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrials and NASDAQ 100 cash indices higher across the board by +2.85%, +2.56% and +4.46%, respectively. With ramifications of the exchange of private for public debt put on the side for now, equities continue to string together a record ratio of up days. Will this year-old bull market ever turn "gray" -- or was the pause that refreshes just the "formula" we needed to continue higher?
