Stocks traded positive for the entire session today (except the DJIA was negative for a short period of time) on pre-holiday type investor participation. Gains on the DJIA (DIA), S&P 500 (SPY), and Nasdaq Composite (QQQQ) ranged between 0.3% to 0.5%. The leader today was the Semiconductor Index (SOX) which rose 1.1%.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite successfully tested their 50-day moving averages intra-day and closed above them. If they don't hold the 50-day moving averages then the gaps down to 1,310 and 2,740 on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite, respectively probably get filled.

Warren Buffett’s letter to shareholders gives us a great view of the overall economy from a man who has his finger in every pot and his letter to investors gives us a very good insight as to how things are going in the various sectors his operations cover. Most importantly, what I have learned in my own 40 years or reading Mr.

If you have never before paid attention to Fibonacci Retracement Levels, I would strongly consider paying attention to the S&P chart in the post below. This chart shows, 2 years later, a consolidation and breakout that could have been predicted in March of 2009.
