S&P 500 Breaks Above 200-Day Moving Average

I was just about to post on this but Bespoke beat me to it. The 200 day is not magical or mystical but it is worth noting. When I was a pup an old-timer put it succinctly: "It's the point where all the people who've been thinking "I'll sell when I get even" get even."
