Standard and Poor US index

Well.  This time i'll write in english.  And pardon me for my grammar : )  (like the song form Incubus "Pardon me while i burst"?  I think this is what they say :)  Anyway, its just late and i don't know what i'm saying.  haha.

Let's talk US market stuff.  I follow the Standard and Poor index everyday.  And i have followed it for the past 5 to 6 years.  Every year i read and analyze more and more about it.  The S&P market index is one of the most followed index in the world.  It's a combination of 500 mostly US companies that have a lot of exposure to the american consumer.  And some international too.  When ever the american consumer spends money, the S&P 500 makes some gains very often.  If you were going to go back and search some stats of the S&P, you would notice the S&P rallied several times during the Christmas seasons.  Why? because it is the time of the year where most people spend money to buy gifts and others.  

So, now you get an idea of what the S&P is but you can always google it.  At this time, what I am doing is researching for other seasonal and historical moments of the S&P tops and bottoms, moves to the upside and downside, crashes and other behaviors of this index.  Yes, behavior.  The S&P moves accordingly to human investor psychology.  Not the human psychology, but the human investor psychology.  It is very interesting what i found and i will share this with you all sometime.
