The third quarter has come to an end. It ended on a high note with the S&P gaining 3.3% from the June 30 close to Friday’s close. Interestingly, the S&P got to 2168 two weeks into the third quarter which is exactly where it ended on Friday. In other words, if you had gone into a long slumber on July 14 and woke up on September 30, you wouldn’t have missed a thing.
