Chart of the Day
Today's chart of the day was shared on Twitter by CNBC's Michael Santoli (@michaelsantoli). It's a line chart of the S&P 500 index with the 2800 level drawn in red. 2800 has been a key level of interest for the S&P 500 for over a year now. It previously acted as resistance, with the index bouncing lower off of it four times before finally breaking through and going on to hit a new all-time high. The question on many technicians minds' remains: will former resistance now act as support? We want to hear what you think, tweet us @TheChartReport.

Here’s a report from our newest contributor, Dan Gorghuber. In the report, Dan suggests the Dow might need a ‘spring cleanup’ after a strong start to the year. He discusses Wal-Mart ($WMT), Boeing ($BA), and the insurance company, Travelers ($TRV).
