The SPX finally blasted through the 1699-1700 level and held above on the close. Very bullish. Bernanke is still in play and so is the market.
I started the new August P&L tonight and have carried over any active names from July.
I triggered GE today and I also added BMRN as a new long, but it didn’t trigger, so watch the level tomorrow.
Here is a public post I did earlier. Have a great night and I’ll see you in the morning.
