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 5/5/2013.
Wednesday’s modest sell off turned out to be only a brief interruption in the life of the bulls, as momentum shifted into high gear, supported on Friday by a better than expected jobs report, with all major indexes gaining for the week.
The S&P 500 managed to add some 2% and not only broke its widely watched 1,600 milestone marker but also closed solidly above it. It now remains to be seen what, if anything, can drive the indexes higher or, if investors will follow the battle cry to ‘sell in May and go away.’
