Stock Market update -Mar 22nd

We got a nice Fed rally this week, the opposite of what most people expected. The US Dollar pulled back, while Gold and Bonds rallied. Looks like we'll close out the quarter on a high if the rally continues next week, and there's no indication that it won't. The Biotech sector (IBB) continues on its somewhat parabolic move up.

The Small Caps (IWM) closed the week at an all time high! As did a number of DOW components (see below). The Nasdaq is close to taking out its 15 year high.
AAPL is now in the DOW (though it did not reach an all time high this week), and AT&T is now out of the DOW.
Things are still stirring up in Europe with the financial issues in Greece.


New all time highs:      ACT, AVGO, BIIB, CTSH, DIS, DG, ENDP, FB, FL, HD, HON, IBB, ISIS, INTU, IWM,  CELG, NKE, TGT, VRTX, UNH, and more!
All time lows:   WTW
Pops:     BIIB, CTRP
Drops:  

Next week:  Economic reports,
