In case you missed it, here’s a summary of the ETF topics and market reviews I posted to my blog during the week ending on 4/29/2012.

Strong earnings, despite lowered expectations, were the main story last week, which powered the major indexes higher despite some very questionable economic reports. A low GDP number failed to damp enthusiasm, and the S&P 500 gained four days in a row.

With one more trading day left, we are now within striking distance of where we stared the month of April. Despite downgrades in Spain, Europe was fairly quiet this week, but that may change as we are nearing the final round of the French elections on May 6 along with elections in Greece.

Depending on expectations and outcome, that could sure challenge the continuation of any remaining upward momentum in the US markets.

This week, we covered the following:
