I look more at technicals than funnymentals. S&P broke downtrend line last week. Looks good for short-term. It will move nicely if Mr. Market likes AG's words. I will short it on next big rally, maybe tomorrow. Yeehaw!!!!!!!!!

Holding any individual stock can be hazardous if big news hits.

The S&P 500 is kept upto date by trimming the losers and adding in
the winners. Think of the SPY as a Front and back end LOADed Mutual fund with no management fees.
