No distribution days for either SPY or BOND. First week all year that SPY did not have single down day. SPY has recovered all losses since Fed announced tapering on May 22. It's up 4.4% in July. And, as Ted announced, it's at all time high. Even BOND had decent week, finally, but still down nearly 5% since May Day. Here are the updated plots, through yesterday, 7/12:
Reply to @Investor: You're right. That's dumb. Left over habit from when I was heavy BOND, until dumping it June 10. Below is update using AGG, which I will use going forward. Similar YTD, but down 3.7% versus 4.8% since May Day. And, showing better volume sentiment. Other benefit is AGG is older. Thanks Investor.

Why are you using BOND instead of BND or AGG?
You use SPY which is not actively managed but choose an active one for bond side.
