There isn't much to add. The broader mid/long term trend remains unquestionably bullish, the only issue is whether the bulls can claw another 1, 2, or 3% higher before the year wraps up.
Considering the ongoing QE, it'd be surprising if we don't at least briefly break into the sp'1830/50 zone, before another micro down cycle.
