“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” -Confucius
How true this quote is, and very applicable to the current market environment. Just look at the long term charts of the major equity indexes.
SPDR DJ Industrial Average ETF Trust, $DIA

The SPDR DJ Industrial Average ETF Trust, $DIA, continues to move higher over the Median Line of the bullish Andrew’s Pitchfork. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is bullish and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator (MACD) is positive. But all you need to know is that the trend higher off of the double bottom in March 2009 is continuing.
The S&P 500 SPDR’s, $SPY, has bullish indicators and is moving along the Median Line higher. It is also over the Hagopian Trigger. But keeping it simple, higher highs and higher lows. Trend higher.
The Russell 2000 iShares, $IWM, has higher highs, higher lows, ditto.
The Powershares QQQ Trust, $QQQ, is the same. Keep it simple.
There you go, less than 200 words. Buy this market.
HT to @arianahuff for sharing the quote from Confucius today.
