S&P 500 breaches 1,300 mark Broad gauge at May 2001 high after Fed Beige Book By Mark Cotton & Leslie Wines, MarketWatch Last Update: 4:35 PM ET Mar 15, 2006 NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stocks rallied to a higher close Wednesday, with the S&P 500 breaching the 1,300 mark for the first time since May 2001, after a Federal Reserve report showing the economy growing at a steady pace with few inflationary pressures. The report raised hopes the central bank could end its cycle of interest-rate increases. The Fed has been lifting short-term rates in a bid to slow the economy and curb inflationary pressures.

Don, >That should be a positive for more market gains?< yes but as the article says... >The resultant signals derived from the report are therefore often early warnings that should not be ignored but that should be applied in conjunction with other tangible forms of analysis that identify current market action such index trends and market breadth.< market breadth could be better. Ask RtS.

It is not a negative. At long term market bottoms we see bears outnumbering the bulls in the Investors Intelligence Poll. So yes the market can go higher. Especially the NASDAQ since it is not yet as near to overbought. As for market breadth? investorshub.com It's not all bad but there are negative divergences. investorshub.com investorshub.com Does no one want to discuss this chart? martincapital.com It is saying to me the same thing the yield curve did which is lighten up on the rallies here. The FED is going to go too far. Don't be one of the small investors left holding the bag. JMHO, RtS
