February was a WILD ride for the stock market. The first two weeks were gloom and doom, but in the middle of February the markets found a bottom. The last two weeks of February were great, even if leap day did bomb at the end. Hopefully the bottom is in, and we've had a nice period of consolidation in the past 6-8 months. WARNING: a big head and shoulders pattern could be setting up on the S&P 500 index, with a target low of about 1629.
Early month report:
(so far, OUCH! February 12, 16, 17, and 22 provided a nice dead cat bounce though.)
