The bulls did their thing again this week, overcoming any concerns about the Fed tapering its asset purchases soon to drive a 2.0% gain in the S&P 500. This week's gain leaves the S&P 500 up 4.3% for the month in what has been a clear decoupling from the "sell in May and go away" couplet.The week started on a bit of a nervous -- and flat -- note after a weekend article in the Wall Street Journal indicated the Fed has mapped out a strategy for tapering its asset purchases. That view lost its punch, however, with the added indication that the timing of instituting that plan is still uncertain. In brief, the article didn't really tell the market anything it didn't already presume based on prior views communicated in the FOMC Minutes.Still, the headline itself was enough to cause a pause in the buying action and to overshadow what was a better-than-expected retail sales report for April.When Tuesday rolled around, buyers were back in action, emboldened by the bullish view of noted hedge fund manager David Tepper of Appaloosa Management. In a CNBC interview before the market opened, Mr. Tepper, who correctly called the market's direction in September 2010, said he is still definitely bullish on the market since all of the evidence in front of him -- an improving economy, attractive valuation, and central bank support -- tells him to be. Mr. Tepper added that the market should not be overly concerned about the Fed tapering and he suggested short sellers will need a shovel to dig out of their graves if the Fed allows the market to party like it's late-1999 again by not tapering its asset purchases.
Market participants took Mr. Tepper's view and -

Relative pockets of weakness are found in the market's defensive-oriented areas, namely the consumer staples (-0.4%), health care (-0.2%), and telecom services (-0.1%) sectors. Their weakness is not really impinging on the broader market, though, which is creating a sense that money is moving between sectors as opposed to moving out of the stock market altogether.
Blue chips are doing well, but it is the small-cap and mid-cap stocks that are doing the best at this juncture. The Russell 2000 is up 0.7% while the S&P 400 Midcap Index is up 0.6%. DJ30 +61.54 NASDAQ +16.38 SP500 +7.89 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1583/662 mln/756 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2012/280 mln/837
11:00 am : The major averages are holding near their best levels of the session, underpinned by the familiar buy-the-dip trade and stronger-than-expected economic news in the form of the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment and Leading Indicators reports.
The latter releases have seemingly erased the memory of yesterday's weak batch of data that included the weekly initial claims, Philadelphia Fed Index, Housing Starts, and Industrial Production reports. The ongoing liquidity support provided by the Federal Reserve, of course, allows for the market to have a short memory. To that end, it is safe to say, given how quickly the market made up yesterday's losses, that many sources were overreaching when attributing Thursday's afternoon selloff to the regurgitated remarks from San Francisco Fed President Williams about possibly tapering the Fed's asset purchases

Although cyclical sectors saw slim gains in earlier action, only the technology space remains in positive territory. Elsewhere, the Dow Jones Transportation Average hovers near its lows after the bellwether complex made just a brief morning appearance in positive territory. Elsewhere, the discretionary sector is the weakest performer among growth-sensitive groups. Homebuilders were pressured by disappointing housing starts data and retailers trade lower as well.

1:00 pm : At midday, the Dow and S&P 500 are little changed while the Nasdaq trades higher by 0.2%. The major averages began the day on a mixed note as disappointing economic data pressured the Dow and S&P while better-than-expected earnings from Cisco Systems (CSCO 23.76, +2.55) provided the Nasdaq with some support. The Nasdaq continues to hover near its best levels of the day while the technology sector trades higher by 1.1%. The largest tech component, Apple (AAPL 435.89, +7.04), lagged early, but now trades in line with the sector. Today's economic news was plentiful, and most reports fell short of expectations. A decline in housing starts has weighed on homebuilders as major names trade lower across the board. The broader SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB 31.82, -0.62) is down 1.9%. The underperformance of homebuilders has caused the discretionary sector to remain in negative territory while other
