Today's "Shout Out" -- 2017 SPX Target Hit 10 Months Early!

Further to my post of February 18th, the S&P 500 Index (SPX) hit this year's projected target of 2400 today (March 1st) -- 10 months ahead of schedule -- and set another new all-time high in the process!

All other U.S. Major Indices also participated in setting new record highs today, with the exception of the Utilities Index. It, however, is in a strong uptrend.

With bullish sentiment still strong, the SPX remains on track to hit its 2020 projected target of 2700.

Most world markets were also strong today, especially European markets. We'll see if China picks up the pace in the near future.
