The Dow Jones (my proxy for the broad stock market) continues deflating. Last week the Dow Jones closed at a BEV of -21.54%, this week it closed at -35.12%, an additional 14 BEV points into what I believe will ultimately prove to be a...
What a wild week; I’m overwhelmed! In my articles I usually find a narrative theme with which to insert my graphics in. But this week the only theme that comes to mind is what an awful week it was – just awful. Come to think of it, that...
Can you believe it? After a week where the Dow Jones saw four days of extreme market volatility (Dow Jones 2% days), and the NYSE saw two days of extreme market breadth (NYSE 70% A-D days), the Dow Jones closed UP 455 points from last week...

It’s been awhile, but this week we saw some excitement that took the Dow Jones down to its BEV -3.75% line at Friday’s close. And being today was also the first Dow Jones 2% day since last August, a -2.09% day, most of this week’s decline...
For the past year the Dow Jones Index has been advancing off the bottom of an 18% correction, and has been daily closing at new all-time highs or within 5% of one. It’s good market action, but having to write market commentary on a market...
I’ve been missing-in-action for the past month, during which many interesting things have happened in the market, such as the Dow Jones making eight new all-time highs as it advanced 893 points since December 20th.
