Boring... the S&P 500 ended March 2011 about as it began the month. It is up 0.2%.

Long-term trends in stock market indices are boring. They change in general very little. In most months, there is nothing new to tell. It is the same this month. The world is in turmoil, with revolutions in the Middle East and Norhern Africa and a terrible disaster in Japan.

But in the long-term trend for the S&P 500, there is no change.

This month there were a few suprises in other markets:

• There was a COPPOCK Buy Signal (CBS) for one of the major East Asian markets.
• A second trend signal for the second biggest country in the world in terms of population turned now down.
• Some trend signals for a major South American country changed direction as well.

But for the S&P 500, the long term trend signals are boring and still the same as in previous months.
