Stock Market Stocks Bull Bear Investing Investor Money

The Stock Market Bull is almost perfect in Week 44 of 2021 with record high closes in 14 out of 15 sessions on the 3 major US stock indices.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 44 Summary:

Week 44 was a classic Tour de Force by The Stock Market Bull as he continued where he left off in Week 43, looking confident, strong, and aggressive as he entered the stock markets pasture. Economic news, good quarterly corporate earnings reports, and optimism that the US Congress will soon be passing infrastructure and social spending bills were the main drivers. The result was 14 out of the 15 sessions of the 3 major stock indices closed at record highs. The Stock Market Bear only managed an ineffective swipe on Thursday on the DJIA, but it was for a very timid 0.09% loss. The Stock Market Bull has already clinched the Monthly wins for the year, is now needs only 1 win out of the last 8 weeks of 2021 to take the Weekly contest, and is way ahead YTD. Will The Stock Market Bull keep the momentum in Week 45, or will he take a breather?

The Week 43 of 2021 US Stock Market News Recap

Stock Market Stocks Bull Bear Investing Investor Money

The Stock Market Bull caps off an amazing October in Week 43 of 2021 by achieving 9 record closes in 15 sessions.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 43 Summary:

October 2021 was all about The Stock Market Bull, who got complete 3-0 victories in each of the 4 full weeks. It was revenge for September, the only month he has lost so far this year to The Stock Market Bear. In the first 3 weeks The Stock Market Bear came out charging, making a lot of noise, and getting some flesh on Mondays, only to have The Stock Market Bull kick his butt out of the pasture the remaining days. Week 43 was different, however. The Stock Market Bull took command immediately, took 13 of the 15 sessions from the 3 major US stock indices and had 9 record high closes, with the 3-0 trifecta on Friday to close out Week 43 and October in spectacular style.

The US Stock Market Week 42 Summary:

In Week 42 The Stock Market Bull gets his trifecta of winning weeks by taking all 3 major US stock market indices by good sized margins, taking 10 of the 15 trading sessions, including setting new records on the S&P500 and DJIA, and coming close to doing so on the NASDAQ. The best The Stock Market Bear could do was inflict some minor scratches when The Stock Market Bull took a very brief rest. Much of the results could be attributed to good quarterly corporate earnings reports, no out-of-line economic results, COVID-19 booster shots getting approvals from the FDA and CDC, and everything else pretty much staying the same as it was before. Congrats to The Stock Market Bull for his convincing 3-0 Week 42 victory.

The US Stock Market Week 40 Summary:

The Stock Market Bear wanted to repeat last week’s victory, charged onto the pasture on Monday and devoured a lot, and made his statement to start Week 40 with a clear 3-0 daily win. But The Stock Market Bull was not about to be dominated. He came back strong, took Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to take the lead for the week, but not by quite enough to be convincing. The Stock Market Bear did return on Friday, took all major US exchanges, but just by slim margins. The Stock Market Bull proves his resilience once again, takes the first week of October with a 3-0 outright victory in Week 40, and maintains his commanding lead Year-To-Date.

The US Stock Market Week 38 Summary:

The Stock Market Bear was eager to get his first trifecta of weekly wins in 2021. He viciously clawed and bit his way to a very big Monday win by so much that it appeared that Week 38 would easily be his. The Stock Bull entered the ring on Tuesday and they tussled to a slight mixed result for The Stock Market Bear. On Wednesday it was The Stock Market Bull who became the aggressor. He got the win but was still behind for the week. The Stock Market Bull again charged into battle on Thursday, and with great determination overcame every counter by The Stock Market Bear to get a resounding win and pulled ahead for the week, but not by much. Friday was the big show down but both the Bull and the Bear were punched out. The Stock Market Bull barely pulled out a thin mixed win. In an incredibly volatile week somehow The Stock Market Bull gets a 3-0 win in Week 38, but the exhausted The Stock Market Bear remains well ahead for the month and is poised to take his first monthly win of the year. However, with four trading days remaining in September anything is possible just based on what happened this week.
