Looking at the market at the close of this week, apparently the “policy makers” have once again gotten a handle on the financial markets. In the Dow Jones BEV chart below it did correct 10%; but only for one day, February 8th, with the Dow...
I was going to take another week off, but then this week seemed worthwhile to comment on. For one thing, the current correction is obviously different from the others seen in the Dow Jones’ BEV chart below. From a BEV Zero to a 10% decline...
Here’s something we don’t see every day; the Dow Jones correcting over 10% in just nine trading days (January 26th to February 8th), then snapping back 5% in the next five. And the violence of the 10% decline, seen in Mr Bear’s report card...
Two Friday’s ago, (January 26th) the Dow Jones made its latest BEV Zero, new all-time high. Nine trading days later (Thursday Feb 8th) it broke below its BEV -10% line in a very dramatic fashion.

As far as the market trends I usually follow went this week, nothing new in the broad stock or precious metals markets, more of the same old stuff. The Dow Jones made another new all-time high on Wednesday, the 95th since the November 2016...
It doesn’t look like it in the Dow Jones’ Bear’s Eye View (BEV) chart below, but in the past three weeks the venerable Dow has increased 1,100 points (4.39%). Three Fridays ago the Dow Jones closed with a 24K handle. Two weeks later it has...
Unless something big happens, this is my last article for 2017. I plan to submit my next for the weekend of January 13-14. I don’t expect my readers will be missing much during my break. Until the financial markets begin upchucking the “...
Once again, the Dow Jones closed the week at a new all-time high, another BEV Zero in the Bear’s Eye View chart below. That makes 82 new all-time highs since last November’s presidential election. That’s 30% of the Dow Jones’ daily...
