December 2018 The PBR1000: The Stock Market Bear Wins The Year
In a destructive volatile and violent December The Stock Market Bear overwhelms December and takes 2018 in a remarkable comeback. Investors wonder what that means for 2019.
By Larry C. Paxton
The Stock Market Bull was standing tall at the end of November, ahead of The Stock Market Bear in weekly, monthly, and year-to-date victories and looking forward to a nice December bump. But The Stock Market Bear charged into the month viciously clawing and gnashing away at the exchanges. At the end of the month the results were devastating with all exchanges finishing down for the year and in correction territory compared to record highs achieved just a few months before. The Stock Market Bear easily wins December 3-0 in dominating style and takes the year 2018 as well.
The Week 52 YTD tally is:
The Stock Market Bull: 21 weeks
The Stock Market Bear: 21 weeks
Mixed Results: 10 weeks
The Month 12 YTD tally is:
The Stock Market Bull: 6 months
The Stock Market Bear: 4 months
Mixed Results: 2 months
The Year 2018: The Stock Market Bear wins the year in a ruthless and dramatic come from behind in December.
