Since the November election, the stock market has become an amazing thing. How amazing? The election was twenty-six trading days ago. The Dow Jones Index closed at new all-time highs on sixteen of them…with the last on Tuesday of this...
Just when you think you understand the rules of the game, someone changes them. I’m talking about the relationship between the Dow Jones Index and its trading volume. Last week I noted how since January 2000, the Dow Jones and its volume...
Since the November 8th election, the NYSE has seen seventeen trading sessions with the Dow Jones closing at new all-time highs in nine of them. I’m not going to argue with success, but seeing the stock market do so well after an election...

There was some excitement on Tuesday. The Dow Jones was down 1.41% and the NYSE saw a day of extreme breadth (more on that below). But the Dow Jones recovered from its early week losses, and ended the week higher than last Friday’s close...
After two months the stock market finally saw a little excitement on Friday; the Dow Jones Index almost broke below 18,000 at the close. Two “policy makers” said FOMC “policy” isn’t market driven; that they may actually increase their Fed...
