I don't know about you but I'm 100% ready for spring. If I never pick up a snow shovel, other than to hand one to someone else, I'll be perfectly happy. 
The S&P 500 has moved sideways for the last 3 months, closing on Friday (2/26/10) at 1104, just 1 point higher than its 1103 close from 12/07/09. After the first 2 months of 2010, the S&P 500 is down 0.6% (total return) as March trading begins today. As we approach the 1-year anniversary of the 3/09/09 bear market closing low of 677, stock investors seem to alternate between the optimism of a promising recovery to the pessimism driven by too few jobs and too much debt (source: BTN Research).
