[Chart courtesy of MarketWatch.com] European fears have appeared to temporarily subside as markets pushed upwards once more, building off of last week’s big gains as the S&P 500 finished up 1.03%.

Here is a quick ETF review of the past week’s Leaders and Laggards from my High Volume ETF Master list: Last week’s euphoric rebound, with the S&P 500 gaining some 7%, did nothing to solve Europe’s problems.
