This coming trading week will be an interesting one for the S&P 500. But before we go any further, let us take a technical look at what had taken place since last week.

Here's our weekly technical take on the broad market action as depicted by SPY ( the ETF for the S&P 500 index). Over the past week, SPY had bounced off the 50-day SMA in a textbook-like fashion and had moved up more than 4% ever since. While it is not surprising to see the bounce off the 50-day SMA, it is quite a wonder to witness another dramatic climb back to the previous highs at the 108 l...

The S&P 500 index rebounded sharply last week, raising 4.5% and closing right at its 52-week high reached in September 2009.   All of the stocks in our portfolio moved higher as well with the broader market, most notably WMS Industries (WMS) and HomeBuilders ETF (XHB), which rallied 11.4% and 6.2% respectively. However, we remain cautious of XHB as it hits overhead resistance from its 2...
