The Daily Digest for Friday
It's a small test of top here on the S&P 500 Index. With earnings are nearly done, the question now is if they will sell in May and go away. But wait, investors missed the bottom, didn't they?

The Daily Digest for Thursday
Today was an important day in that the 4/17 swing high was taken out, triggering the stop loss of many traders that were short (and perhaps luring in some “breakout” longs). Unlike the results of the pending bank stress tests, a test of top is a pass/fail affair, so we’ll see shortly if Art Cashin is right or wrong.
