Stocks "Cool Down" In April. The Outlook Improves.

The S&P 500 gained 1.85% this week with Friday's close at 5,222.68. Friday's close is the third highest weekly close in the history of the S&P 500 and just 0.60% below our all-time high weekly close at 5,254.35. The index has now increased three weeks in a row following a three-week losing streak the preceding three weeks, and so the conversation now turns toward the retest of our all-time high and the potential breakout of our recent trading range.

Stocks Finish January At A New All-Time High

The S&P 500 gained 1.38% this week with Friday's close at 4,958.61. Friday's close is a new all-time high weekly close, the third week in a row to close at the highest weekly closing price in the history of the index. The S&P 500 has now closed higher 13 of the last 14 weeks and has increased 20.43% over that same time span. It's shocking to write and it's the perfect illustration of our favorite quote: The price of the S&P 500 trades beyond the limits of imagination.

Stocks Up 9 Weeks In A Row, Time For A Pause?

The S&P 500 gained 0.32% this week with Friday's close at 4,769.83. Friday's close is a new all-time high weekly close for the S&P 500, and that's something we haven't been able to write for almost exactly two years! The index has now increased an astounding nine weeks in a row, its first nine-week winning streak since the week ending January 23, 2004 (and before that September 1, 1989!). From our view, it would be normal, healthy and even ideal for the S&P 500 to take a breather over the weeks ahead. A trade down toward the ~4,600 region in January would serve to recharge the battery for a breakout to new all-time highs in February.
