We continued to climb this week, with the SPX revisiting the 'all time highs' once more.

We could see the market finally rally past the prior highs, making new all time highs. Or not...

Stock Market update -Sep 29

Its the end of the month and the end of the quarter! For September, we finally broke out of the trading range we saw in August!

Bonds and Gold rallied a bit from the recent lows.
