Note: yesterday, the S&P as well as most of the stocks in our Portfolios made gap up opens, then the index as well as about 75% of our stocks closed those gaps intraday (a plus). Also, the S&P ended above the downtrend off its 8/16 trading high. If it finishes above that trend today, it will negate the trend and set itself up for more follow through to the upside. As you can read below, a number of analysts, including some prominent bears, are predicting that follow through into the year end. Let’s get pass today first.
