More On Market Breadth And NYSE 52Wk Highs And Lows
We have to go back to the 1990s to see similar periods where for eighteen months the Dow Jones has seen so little in the way of market corrections greater than 5%.
A Study In Bear Markets (1900 To 2017)
I’m going to focus on bear markets; how they differ from bull markets. I expect such information will prove handy sometime in the not too distant future.
The Dow Jones Moves From One New All-Time High To Another
Since July 11 the Dow Jones made twelve new all-time highs in the past eighteen NYSE trading sessions. The thing that bothers me with the Dow Jones’ BEV chart is it’s been a long time since the Dow Jones has seen a correction of just 5%.
Expect Dow Jones Above 22,000 In The Coming Weeks
At the close of this week’s trading, twelve of the major market indexes I follow also closed at new all-time highs, and most of the rest are just a whisker from making one. But the gains seen in the past two years are less than I’d expected.
Electrical Power Consumption, Economic Growth And Global Warming
I want to see the bulls stop being stubborn and toss in the towel, allowing gold’s step sum to break down with the price plot. Until that happens, I won’t have anything good to say about the short-term outlook for the gold market.
Americans: The Most Parochial People In The World
June was for the most part pretty quiet compared to what the stock market saw earlier in the year. When looking at a market over 21,000, 341 points isn’t really much of a gain after seven new all-time highs.
The Top 20 Market Caps Of 2017 & 1975
The Dow Jones continues advancing. In the past two weeks it’s made five new all-time highs in the BEV chart below and ended the week only 0.62% away from Monday’s last all-time high. All in all a darn good performance.
What’s Wrong With Stocks And Bonds And Right With Gold And Silver
How much higher the Dow Jones can climb is still a mystery to mortals like us. One thing I can say with certainty, the current advance’s days are numbered.
Market Update For June 5, 2017
In past times, the gold and silver miners have been the place to be during the big declines in the general market. There’s no reason to believe this will not prove to be true in the next deflationary market decline.
Fed Funds And Bond Yield Analysis Of The Markets
The Dow Jones closed the week just a whisker (35.27) from taking out its last all-time high from March 1st of this year. Looking at the Dow Jones and its step sum, I expect we’ll see history being made next week, or the week after.
Bear’s Eye View Of The Stock And Gold Markets
The Dow Jones is outperforming gold. Since April 17th the Dow Jones has advanced in spite of a declining step sum and at times a lower 15 count than gold. Short term, the Dow Jones has more going for it than gold and silver – short term that is.
Market Volatility In The Precious Metals
In the Dow Jones step sum chart market sentiment in the bull box is getting increasingly negative, while the Dow’s price plot is ignoring the terrible sentiment. This continues to be a bullish set up for the Dow Jones for weeks and possibly months.
Dow Jones In A Bull Box
The Dow Jones and its step sum below peaked on March 1st of this year, after which the Dow saw heavy selling. The collapsing step sum shows us that. But the price trend of the Dow Jones has weathered the selling better than one would expect.
Central Banks Are Monetizing Stocks And Bonds
Following this market is an exercise in frustration. Last week, the Dow Jones appeared ready to roll over. But it came charging back last week on Monday and Tuesday but still, the Dow failed to break above its last all-time high by Friday’s close.
Wall Street And Bear Scat
The post-election run up in the Dow Jones was an excellent advance; one of the best in the post March 2009 market. So we shouldn’t begrudge the bulls should they now take a rest before their next upward assault on the stock market.
The Keynesian’s Fetish For Monetary Inflation
If I were to choose one word to describe the current market, it would have to be tedious. The Dow Jones is no longer going up, but it’s really not going down either.
