Well, they finally did it! This week the bulls took the Dow Jones Index up to, and then closed above its 20K line on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Bravo Zulu to our horned brethren in the market.
It’s been a month (December 20th) since the Dow Jones Index last closed at an all-time high. And since January 6th, the Dow Jones is finding breaking above its 20K line a hard nut to crack. That’s not to say the Dow Jones won’t see a 20,...
