Perhaps the most notable stock break through of the year so far, is this mornings gain in United Continental (UAL), breaking the 2007 double top high of $48.25. It bodes very bullish for the broader market into 2015/16. Metals remain weak, Gold -$2
UAL, monthly, 9yr
Summary
I really do think it is a key sign for the broader market. Whether or not $50 is hit within the next month or two seems not particularly important.
We have a clear break through for a leading airline, and if the airlines are doing okay..the rest of the market will likely be fine.
