Dow closed today at 25,538. This is 4.8% off the Record All-Time High.

That is the highest Close since the week of Election. That is the highest close of the month, outside of Election week.

At least you stay true to form.
As you have proven many times since starting this thread, you are always Wrong and Left, never Right.

Looks like lots uv investorz think its bad. I dont no - coud be good, coud be bad. All I no iz that it duznt directly affect me.

Herez sumthing stokholdrz shoud worry about:

Quote:

Creating additional investor concern on Tuesday was an inverted yield curve in Treasury bonds — where the three-year yield has moved above the five-year yield — a phenomenon that preceded all three of the last recessions.

Dow closed yesterday at 25,826. This is 3.7% off the Record All-Time High.

Dow closed today at 25,027. This is 6.7% off the Record All-Time High.

Dow hasn't closed this low since...5 trading days ago. Golly.
In 6 days Dow Rose about 1,500 points. And now drops some of that. That is some serious money to be made right there, but I did not partake.
Prior to 2018, the Dow had never ventured this High.

Chicken Littles should run for the hills, with the sky falling.

Next week is the Election. It was brought to my attention, but I have not confirmed yet, that the Stock Markets rise on the Wednesday after a Mid-term Election without apparent regard for which Party wins. So if you are looking for a stable trend to make money on, then confirm if this is true. Then you would buy in to a growth fund on Friday, Monday, Tuesday, and sell at CoB Wednesday.

This simple practice would be called Market Timing, which newly minted mush head Fiscal Experts say Does Not Exist, has Never Existed, has Never Worked, despite decades of success.

I looked at the funds I use in my Tax-Deferred account. For 2014, 2010, 2006 they all gained on the day after. Prior to 2003 the data is not available online.

In 06 there was 0.6%, 0.1%. In 10 there was 0.5%, 1.0%. And 14 was 0.2%, 0.7%.
No losses. So I'll be making a transfer tonight.

Dow closed Monday at 25,461.
On Tuesday at 25,635. All 3 major Indices gained more than 0.6% for the day.

Dow closed today at 26,180. All 3 major indices gained over 2.1% today.

Congratulations to all who took my advice and accepted some gains today. Another example of Market Timing. Remember, Market Timing does not exist, has never existed, and does not work, no matter how much money you made today off of the practice. (Yes, that was sarcasm)

I finally just checked the numbers on these 2 accounts.
One of them gained 0.63% on Election Day, and 2.1% on the Wednesday. The other gained 0.45% on Election Day, and 1.7% on Wednesday.
I now also notice that the next day the shift between them continued. The second one had been the stronger, more dominant for months, and on Election week they switched in comparative performance, and have remained that way since. Had I transferred out of the second (stronger) fund and into the first (comparatively weaker) fund the week before the Election, I would have made an extra 2%. But I wasn't paying that much attention at the time.

If only you coud no wich way its going befor it duz! Every litl dip and spike woud be money in your pocket!

The only pattern that seemz to matter iz that it haz basicly stagnated, wich duznt make sens if you think it reprezents real value. The only explanation iz that it iz being held up at an artificially hi level, and whoever iz doing it can barely keep it there.
