Despite Recent Chaos, SPY Remains Up 5.8% YTD and 2% Above 200 Day Average

edited October 2014 in Fund Discussions
Last time SPY dropped below 200 day average was November 2012 and then only for three days.

Last sustained time was late 2011, about three years ago. That one lasted about four months (August - November).

And before that...pretty much May through August 2010, which I had forgotten about.

And before that, well, no one wants to remember...November 2007 - May 2009, or 19 months.

For what it's worth...

    In the past week, we've had 3 distribution days, where the market dropped on above average volume, and we've had 2 accumulation days, where the market rose on above average volume.

    Just nutty.

    You have sectors that have gotten obliterated. Look at some of the ag names. Syngenta (SYT) had an 8 rsi the other day. AGCO making one new low after another. DE. Energy down huge. The market broadly has held up fine - the last week has been anything but pleasant but when looked at over the span of the year, there's really nothing of great concern. When you look at specific sectors, there are some concerns but also some values for those with a long-term view.
