Hi Melf, can you do an update on the S&P?
I see it has rallied off a long term uptrend line dating back to March 2009.
Good Morning, Mary,
Ooo-oo...you did VERY well! Nice going!
I changed one of my answers that I was nearly certain was right ("of the people, by the people, for the people"), but I talked myself out of it, or I "woulda" had 27.
On the other hand, I lucked out on a few, so I "coulda" had a lower score, too. Hahaha.

Dave,
The SPX broke out of a little Double Bottom on June 29. The upside target (1334.35) got MADE on Friday, so that's all I've got for targets.
