By Larry C. Paxton
The US Stock Market Week 15 Summary:
On Monday of Week 15 of 2022 The Stock Market Bear set the tone by attacking all three US major stock indices, taking no prisoners. Tuesday was a repeat, but on a smaller scale. On Wednesday it was The Stock Market Bull who asserted himself, making up a lot of the lost ground and trying to regain the momentum. But on Thursday The Stock Market Bear quelched that by nearly matched those numbers. Friday the US stock exchanges were closed in observance of Good Friday. On Sunday Christians joyfully celebrate Jesus Christ overcoming death. Investors are wondering when The Stock Market Bull will overcome the mounting losses for the year and regain his winning ways.
