Stock Market update -Jul 24th

The market was up a bit this week, hitting new all-time highs again, then pulling back. Maybe we'll see the NASDAQ and Small-caps (IWM), hit all time highs and catch up to the S&P500 before this rally takes a break.

Oil prices dropped again, while Bonds seem to have settled down from the prior selling.
