In a day filled with talk about the market, Axel Merk of the Merk Funds said the market is getting late in its current cycle and that it is likely to have a tougher tmie making gains going forward. He suggested that investors rebalance their portfolios to lock in gains and reposition themselves for the tougher sledding to come. Before that, however, Matt Harris of HighTower Wealth Management noted that the market's technical signals are suggesting that a slowdown is coming, but he said the catalyst for real trouble is not yet visible. And Avi Gilburt of Elliot Wave Trader said he expects the Standard & Poor's 500 to test recent resistance levels of 2,600 and to go as low as 2,200 if it breaks through, yet he is also forecasting a snap-back rally that will take the index to 3,200 -- and as high as 4,100 -- by 2022-23. Also, Chuck discusses the 10-year anniversary of the start of the bull market and what it means for investors.
