Another bullish week in US Equity markets and another week with new all-time highs – the momentum continues: We finally broke through the ~5500 level in the SPX (S&P 5oo Index) that also corresponded to a ~50% extension of the prior (Nov 2023 – April 2024) bullish move from the lows of the mid-April pullback. […]

US equities, as measured by the performance of the S&P 500 Index (SPX), closed the week slightly lower than last week’s close after consolidating sideways for most of the week and battling with the 5500 resistance level.

Current holdings in the Rutherford portfolio look […]

Apologies for being late with this week’s review, I had an emergency and had to go out of town for the weekend and only returned late last night. Last week was not a great week for US equities with the S&P Index closing the week down ~o.5% from last week’s close: Prices are now sitting […]

It was not a good week for US Equities as the S&P 500 Index banged it’s head against the 5300 barrier all week and closed ~0.2% lower than last weeks close: Prices are still in an uptrend channel and sitting near the all-time highs. It will be interesting to see whether the “seasonal” bullish trend, […]
