S&P 500 Record Close

Another day, another S&P 500 record close, we are sitting right near 2460, about 3.5 percent until our 2,550 target, first published on December 22nd, 2016. The S&P 500 is now up nearly 10 percent for the year, while the NASDAQ Composite is up slightly over 17 percent, and the NASDAQ 100 is up a blistering 20 percent.  Technology has come back incredibly strong over the past week after a messy previous week. But Biotech’s are embarrassing the entire market, up nearly 33.5 percent so far in 2017. Wow!
