Here’s a Dow Jones BEV chart going back to 1885.  A Bear’s Eye View (BEV) chart displays the Dow Jones in terms of new all-time highs (0.0% / BEV Zero) and percentage claw-backs on those days the Dow Jones came short of making a new all-...
Last week I wondered if we were due for a bounce in the market. We were, but it lasted only to the close of Tuesday’s trading. From there it was all downhill for the rest of the week, the Dow Jones closing on Friday with a BEV of -20.93%,...
The Dow Jones continues gaining momentum to the downside, this week closing below its BEV -20% line.  This isn’t going to change anytime soon, not for as long as the idiot savants at the FOMC continue denying the financial markets what...
The Dow Jones this week took out its lows of last June, as seen in its BEV chart below.  How much further will the Dow Jones go in its current decline?  I can’t say with certitude, and no one else can either. 
This week the Dow Jones gave up all of last week’s gains.  Moving from last Friday’s BEV -12.63% to below its BEV -15% line at the close of this week. Before we go deeper into this week’s market action, let’s take a moment and study this...

This was a slow week.  It’s difficult writing something interesting about mostly nothing, but I’ll give it my best shot. Nothing much happened with the Dow Jones this week; down by 54.31 from last Friday’s close.  A decline barely visible...
For the first time in 2022, the FOMC is on track to drain $40 billion from their balance sheet for the month of August.  In the table below, dates are Barron’s issue dates.  So, the week of August 1st was actually the last week of July. ...
The market this week was a bit on the boring side, but that is how things on Wall Street usually go.  Following the market is much like following a daily soap opera on television.  Not every episode is exciting, but you have to see most...

The 1849 Gold Rush sped up California's admission to the Union as the 31st state in that year.
