This was a great day for the bulls. Not only was every sector higher on the day but the Nasdaq and Russell 2000 closed solidly above their 200-day moving averages. The Russell is now less than 1% away from erasing all of its 2008 losses. The other indices are 4 to 5% away from the same feat.
The larger cap indices aren't looking quite as good as the Russell...
