Stocks continue to bounce back and forth in a very tight range above the July highs. This is very unusual action, this mostly sideways to very slightly higher action that has gone on for about 5 weeks. The Dow lost 23-points while the S&P 500 was flat and small caps posted a modest gain.

Bonds also had a good day and the I-fund picked up a small gain.

Reminder: I am taking a few days off this week and will be making commentaries brief, and thankfully, the market has cooperated by remaining in a tight range with low volatility.


The SPY (S&P 500 / C-Fund) was flat and continues to move sideways consolidating above the 20-day EMA and the the old resistance line. That's really all the analysis at this point.
