Stock Market -- Attention Please!

There it was, the SPX headed up calmly to a new all time high. But as the linked - too
chart shows, there was another failure up at resistance set by the recent double top. SPX


There were factors to concern us today: An IMF report of low growth, the Fed minutes, big
