After watching Super Bowl XLV and throughly happy that the Green Bay Packers triumphed over some of the evil elements that occupied the Pittsburgh Steelers (yes I'm calling you, the special teams player attempting to shove the returner into the punt and having your despicable sideline coaches asking for a flag on the Green Bay player, most of you with the exception of Mike Tomlin, are just a bunch of pathetic thugs no better than Rex Ryan's New York Jets), the U.S. averages gapped higher in the opening fifty minutes before selling off throughout the day but still holding good gains as the SPY closed at a 52-week high.
