Stock Market update -Mar 6th

The rally continued this week, blowing right past the 50MA, catching many bears by surprise! In my opinion though, the 'new all time high' list doesn't really show any of the true leaders, so we'll see how long it lasts. Options expiration in March could end up with the S&P 500 surprising everyone to the up-side, and with Bonds surprising to the down-side! No one knows, but being aware helps to position yourself...

Gold continued to rally, as did Oil. Bonds were down.
