Weekly Market Outlook – The Impossible Rally is Clearly Possible

A week ago the overbought market was on the verge of a decided, even if most devastating, breakdown. Once again though, investors found just the inspiration they were looking for.

Still, the sellers have yet to even drag the key indices under the first of several technical floors. The...
