The S&P 500 is up about 3.2% Year-To-Date (YTD) and $SPY has fluctuated anywhere from 379 to 420. Volatility will continue to happen this year, and I believe that will cause the market to continue to trade in a range. However, that is perfect for individuals that want to build positions in the stock market. Establishing long term positions in this market will allow you to appreciate long term gains once we are positioned into the next bull market.
