July 2018: A Convincing Win for the Stock Market Bull and The PBR1000
July 2018 was a good ride as the Stock Market Bull easily prevailed in all 3 major US stock exchanges and forecasts indicating a strong economy for the rest of 2018.
By Larry C. Paxton
The second half of 2018 kicked off in a positive way as data and surveys continue to show strong US economic growth and forecasts indicating more of the same through 2018. There appears to be a trend of trade war concerns which are then followed by actions and negotiations that indicate these will be resolved. US stock exchanges had few ongoing up or down swings and no long positive or negative trends. All in all it was a good month, which the Stock Market Bull clearly won and was good for The PBR1000 as well. The overall monthly records are now the Stock Market Bull ahead 4 months to the Stock Market Bear’s 2 months, with June being the only mixed result.
