The Week 46 of 2021 US Stock Market News Recap

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 46 Summary:

The Stock Market Bear tries to extend his win from Week 45, gets all three major US stock indices on Monday. But The Stock Market Bull counters by taking bigger wins on Tuesday. An angry The Stock Market Bear bounces back with even larger margins on Wednesday. The Stock Market Bull decided to focus most of his attention on the NASDAQ and S&P500, establishes records on both on Thursday, then again on the NASDAQ on Friday, but relinquishes a few points on the S&P500. Even though The Stock Market Bear gets 9 out of 15 trading sessions, The Stock Market Bull makes the most of his 6, earns a 2-1 mixed result for Week 46, clinches the Weekly Wins competition for the year, has already taken the Monthly Wins, and has a very large lead Year-To-Date. Enjoy and give thanks for the blessings in your life next Thursday when the US celebrates Thanksgiving Day.
