SPY: How A "Give Growth A Chance" Mantra Could Keep Markets Rising

That said, the new 52-week low list expanded again. The advance/decline lines have once again deteriorated and look too weak for comfort. This is a dangerous market. Do not chase anything here. Be patient. Even great stocks pull back.

As for the economy, inflation is 3%, while bonds yield 4.5%. Move on. There is not much more to think about here. This is a time to own rather than lend. You just need to own the right things.
