Stock Market update -Sep 4th

The market was mostly unchanged for the week and for the month! We continue in a sideways, low volatility pattern in the S&P 500. Maybe we'll see some more movement in September. Bonds were down a bit, while Gold and Oil tried to recover.

Still looking for SPX to hit 2200, and for the IWM to finally get to an all time high, like the rest of the indexes (below) -the NYA too. The market is closed on Monday.
