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 4/21/2013.
Things started off very shaky as the major indexes took a steep dive on Monday, recovered on Tuesday only to be spanked again on Wednesday. Some stability returned to the markets as upward momentum during the past 2 trading days limited the damage. In the end, the S&P 500 gave back 2.14%, although it could have been a lot worse.
Disappointing earnings played a role along with the realization that we may have come too far too fast. Nevertheless, nothing would surprise me including a new attempt to break the S&P’s 1,600 milestone marker. After all, the Fed is still around and in business to provide the necessary ammunition via its open ended QE program to support the equity indexes.
