In Week 13 The Stock Market Bull starts strong, falters, makes a comeback on Friday, has to settle for a 2-1 mixed win, just misses out on his first trifecta of the year.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 13 Summary:

The Stock Market Bull was anxious to get his first trifecta of weekly wins in 2022, charged into the Wall Street Bullpen, aggressively took Monday and Tuesday, and looked poised to take Week 13 in a convincing way. But The Stock Market Bear decided he wanted to play as well and overwhelmed The Stock Market Bull on Wednesday and Thursday and the month of March ends on a down note. Nevertheless, The Stock Market Bull gets his first monthly win of 2022. Both were exhausted at the ringing of the bell on Friday, but somehow The Stock Market Bull managed to keep the NASDAQ, took the S&P500 by the narrowest of margins, but fell just short of retaking the DJIA. The Stock Market Bull misses his trifecta, but does get a 2-1 mixed win for Week 13.
