Weekly Wrap-UpThe announcement out of the EU that it would ease austerity measures, promote a stimulus program and allow countries to shift bad-bank debt burdens onto the European Stability Mechanism was exactly the news we were waiting for.
As I commented last week, the bearishness appeared over done, and the market "felt" like it wanted to move higher.
Friday’s close above the 50-day moving average on the S&P 500 is extremely bullish, and suggests that the S&P 500 will make an attempt at new high territory.
Europe's actions must be viewed as stimulative, and this is why we saw such a powerful rally. The bears who were betting on an economic Armageddon got caught short and had to cover. There were massive moves higher in Gold, Copper and Oil, all of which had been heavily shorted of late.
Stocks look higher. Enjoy the rally, but as we start getting up to new high territory I'd be looking to sell into that strength.
Remember: We have Q2 earnings announcements just a week and half away, and I think they are going to be on the soft side. I would view this up move as a trading rally rather than the beginning of a brand new bull market.

OUR PRINCIPLES |
1. Our Customers
I think it was Frank Sinatra who once said, 'If you think customers are not important try doing business without them for a while.'
Although he was referring to another singer who didn't like to sign autographs, he could have been talking about any customer in any business.
In our offices here in Delray Beach we keep that quote posted on the wall just to remind us how fortunate to have you as part of our family.
2. No Hidden Agendas
Please forgive the populist tone here, but the sheer audacity of what some brokerages pawned off as "research" in the 90's was stunning. As a result, the New York State Attorney General forced many of them to fund separate independent stock research firms.
We here at the Institute for Individual Investors have no interest in the "conflict of interest" business (we've seen what it does to people.) We do what we do because we enjoy it and we're good at it. Therefore know that we will never accept any payment, in any form, to recommend the shares of any company. Period.
Our goal is to not only provide you with our unbiased opinions, but to also bring you behind the scenes and show you exactly how we form those opinions. Knowledge is your best defense in the investing battlefield.
3. Information You Can Understand
In addition to the research and educational courses we offer, we try to present our facts in a way that will help you understand the rationale behind our thinking.
It is our hope that during the course of our relationship you will gain a more sophisticated framework for making investment decisions both as an investor and as a businessperson. We believe that the more educated you become, the more likely it is that you will appreciate and recommend our work.
4. We Will Always Admit Our Mistakes
Only fools never admit and learn from their mistakes. Good investors are not born they're forged. It's that simple.
5. Real Wall Street Experience
Everybody we hire to teach and inform you will actually have real investment experience.
Need I say more? Well, I will. Why?
Because many of our "competitors" aren't real investors - they're marketers and journalists pretending to have the real world experience that separates the men from the boys.
