Week in Review, Part I: Global Economics, International and U.S. Equity Markets Overview

Thanks for posting. While your comments on black-box trading were somewhat insightful, they also seemed a bit naive. So what if stocks in certain sectors go up and then down day to day! Should one buy because they move one way or the other on a given day? Of course not. Thousands of stocks are now 25% or more above their lows. Many are up 50% or more. If one is worried about black-box trading and not willing to look beyond the daily meandering of the sectors then one is not going to see the tremendous opportunities in front of them.

I hope you post those charts again in the future. It's good to get a big-picture look at what is going on. Looking at the weekly S&P it is clear the market still has A LOT of upside before getting anywhere close to a even 50% retracement of the 2008 crash. Also interesting is the recent out-performance of the Russell 2000 stocks. That move seems to be rolling over.
