GENIUS

One of the first things I remember reading when I was contemplating becoming a full time trader was that if you are confused as to the trend, expand the time frame and see if it makes things clearer. I hate to say it, but yes this 3 year chart on SPY is pretty clear. We are in an uptrend and any dip purchased in the prior three years would have been a money trade. The odds are with it to continue to be a money trade.
