Market Commentary Highlights... 

• This week will mark five long years since the S and P 500 reached its all-time peak on October 9, 2007.

• We see four key supports that make it unlikely that stocks will follow the pattern of another multiyear trip back to the bottom of the 15-year range: earnings, dividends, valuations, and the economy.
