Stock Market Bull Bear Stocks Investing Investor

The Stock Market Bull decides to go Christmas shopping in Week 50, The Stock Market Bear creates chaos in the pasture.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 50 Summary:

After his victory last week, The Stock Market Bull decided to reward himself by going Christmas shopping during Week 50. Predictably, The Stock Market Bear was quick to notice. On Monday he charged into undefended pasture and took a big bite out of the livestock. Although not as severe, he was able to repeat this on Tuesday. On Wednesday The Stock Market Bull returned to the pasture to watch on his new big TV screen Federal Reserve Chairman Powell‘s comments following the two day  Federal Open Market Committee meeting. The reassuring words resulted in an easy daily win for The Stock Market Bull, who departed for more holiday shopping on Thursday. Once again, The Stock Market Bear saw his chance and pounced on some more livestock to take the day, with the NASDAQ being particularly affected. This continued on Friday with the DJIA taking the major blood letting for the day. The Stock Market Bear takes Week 50 with a 3-0 clear result, taking 12 of the 15 sessions across the three major US stock indices, and everyone wondering if The Stock Market Bear should really be called The Stock Market Grinch.

The Week 48 of 2021 US Stock Market News Recap

Recap The Stock Market Bear Stocks Investing

The Stock Market Bear gets the Week 48 win thanks to his new good buddy the Omicron COVID-19 variant, with Fed Chair Powell also contributing per his comments on possible Fed actions.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 48 Summary:

It was a back and forth Week 48 with The Stock Market Bull charging out of the gate on Monday and having a big day. The Stock Market Bear took it personally and came out slashing on Tuesday and overtook the Bull’s lead, thanks to the announcement of a new COVID-19 variant, named Omicron, and also Federal Reserve Chairman Powell’s comments on possible Fed monetary policy changes regarding its tapering program and raising interest rates on short federal short term funds. This moved forward into Wednesday where more blood was shed in the markets. The Stock Market Bull struck back on Thursday, but more was still needed to catch up to the losses. The Stock Market Bear closed out the week with additional information on the variant, Fed policy options, and a below US employment situation report. Chalk up Week 48 of 2021 to The Stock Market Bear who gets a complete 3-0 win.

This has also caused demand-pull inflation that is affecting overall business conditions.”
  • The IHS Markit November 2021 US Composite PMI Output Index is at 57.2, October was at 57.6, September 55.0, November 2020 58.6, November 2019 52.0. “While business expectations for the year ahead rose in November, the vast majority of the survey data were collected prior to the news of the Omicron variant, which casts a renewed shadow of uncertainty over the outlook for business and poses a downside risk to near-term growth prospects.“

  • Thursday, December 2, 2021

  • Wednesday, December 1, 2021

  • The US Federal Reserve releases its Beige Book summary of the 12 districts for data through 11/19/21.

Several Districts noted that despite strong demand, growth was constrained by supply chain disruptions and labor shortages….”

Job gains have eclipsed 15 million since the recovery began, though 5 million jobs short of pre-pandemic levels. Service providers, which are more vulnerable to the pandemic, have dominated job gains this year. It’s too early to tell if the Omicron variant could potentially slow the jobs recovery in coming months.”
  • The US Dept of Commerce/Census says the Preliminary October 2021 US New Construction Spending Annual Rate-Residential is at $783.9 billion, Non-Residential $814.2 billion, making October 2021 US New Construction Spending Annual Rate Total at $1,598.0 billion, September was at $1,594.8 billion, August $1,596.8 billion, October 2020 $1,471.7 billion, October 2019 $1,386.8 billion.

Although November brought some signs of supply chain problems easing slightly to the lowest recorded for six months, widespread shortages of inputs meant production growth was again severely constrained….”

  • Tuesday, November 30, 2021

  • The US Dept of the Treasury says on 11/26/21 the US National Debt-Public is at $22.649 trillion, Intragovernmental $6.260, making the 11/26/21 US National Debt Total at $28.909 trillion, 10/29/21 was also at $28.909 trillion, 09/30 21 $28.429 trillion, 11/30/20 $27.446 trillion, 11/29/19 $23.076 trillion.

More data will be required to understand whether this demand surge represents simply an acceleration of purchases that would have occurred over the next several years, or reflects a secular change in locational preferences. September’s report is consistent with either explanation.”
  • The American Automobile Assn says the 11/30/21 US Average Price for a Gallon of Regular Gas is at $3.390, 10/29/21 was at $3.401, 09/30/21 $3.189, 11/30/20 $2.127, 11/29/19 $2.587. “It’s too soon to tell if fears of a global economic slowdown caused by the Omicron variant will push oil prices lower for the long term… But for now, the upward pricing pressure due to tightened supply and high demand seems to have abated, and that will likely result in pump prices stabilizing.”
  • MNI Indicators/ISM Chicago reports that the November 2021 Chicago Business Barometer(>50 gaining) is at 61.8, October was at 68.4, September 64.7, November 2020 58.2, November 2019 46.3. “… the lowest reading since February, driven by a slow-down in new orders.”

The Omicron variant of COVID-19 and Fed Chair Powell’s comments on accelerating tapering gave The Stock Market Bear the edge on the last day of November, but it was only enough for a mixed 2-1 result.

The US Stock Market November 2021 Summary:

Week 44 started November with The Stock Market Bull continuing where he left off in October by notching his 5th consecutive weekly victory, which also included many new record high closes. The Stock Market Bear finally clawed his way to a Week 45 3-0 win. This alarmed The Stock Market Bull who tried to take charge of the pasture, but having to settle for a Week 46 2-1 mixed result. The Stock Market Bear made a statement with a bounce back Week 47 3-0 win. At the start of Week 48 The Stock Market Bull had an excellent Monday, but the news that evening was not good, mostly about the uncertainties regarding the new Omnicron COVID-19 variant making itself known in Africa and Europe. Then Tuesday morning Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell talked about accelerating the reduction of the tapering program because of apparent stubbornness of higher and longer lasting inflation rates. At the end of November the bottom line was a mixed 2-1 result in favor of The Stock Market Bear. The Stock Market Bull maintains a significant lead year-to-date. It remains highly unlikely that The Stock Market Bear becomes The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.

The Week 47 of 2021 US Stock Market News Recap

Stock Market Bull Bear Stocks Investing ThePBR1000 ThePBR25

The Stock Market Bull had a mixed win going for him through Thursday, but the new COVID-19 variant became The Stock Market Bear’s BFF, and he gets the 3-0 win for Week 47 of 2021.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 47 Summary:

The Stock Market Bull started out Week 47 by focusing on the DJIA, so The Stock Market Bear decided to take on the tech heavy and volatile NASDAQ, and took aim at the S&P500 as well. This dance worked well on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday the roles reversed with The Stock Market Bull capturing the NASDAQ and S&P500, The Stock Market Bear got the DJIA. Going into the US Thanksgiving Day Holiday it appeared that a mixed result was going to be the most likely result. But The Stock Market Bear received an early Black Friday gift as another coronavirus variant appears to be spreading across the globe. The Stock Market Bear took advantage of this early news and on Friday roared throughout the day as he took a 2%+ bite out of all 3 major US stock indices. The Stock Market Bear takes Week 47 with a dramatic come from behind 3-0 win. With only two trading days left in November he also has the edge for the month, but The Stock Market Bull remains well ahead YTD.

stock market bull bear stocks PBR1000 PBR25

The Stock Market Bull takes it on the chin on the DJIA, barely takes the S&P500, but closes with a record on the NASDAQ to take a 2-1 mixed win in Week 46 of 2021.

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.

The Week 45 of 2021 US Stock Market News Recap

The Week 45 of 2021 US Stock Market News Recap

Stocks Stock Market Bull Bear Investing

The Stock Market Bear got angry after The Stock Market Bull gets record highs on Monday, comes back with a vengeance to take Week 45, his first since Week 39.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 45 Summary:

The Stock Market Bull continued his previous week’s dominance on Monday with record closes on all three major US stock indices. The Stock Market Bear became angry, and with the help of inflationary fears, slashed his way to good sized Tuesday and Wednesday battle wins. Thursday was mixed in favor of The Stock Market Bull, who then had a big day on Friday. But it was not enough to erase the losses. The Stock Market Bear gets a 3-0 Week 45 victory, his first since Week 39, but The Stock Market Bull still has a huge edge for 2021. Did his Friday surge signal what will happen in Week 46?

The US Stock Market October 2021 Summary:

September came to a close with The Stock Market Bear getting his first monthly win in 2021 and there was a concern that it could happen in November as well. However, The Stock Market Bull entered the pasture determined that there was a new sheriff in town and proceeded to overwhelm The Stock Market Bear by taking all four full weeks of October. Why? The economy continues to ramp up in just about all sectors. This despite continuing COVID-19 pandemic, supply logistics issues, labor shortages, and federal government delays in approving new trillions of dollars in spending plans. Now the holiday season is upon us with forecasts of record retail sales, declining weekly initial jobless claims, mortgage rates continuing to stay low, and an economy that seems like it wants to burst out. We wish you the best as we enter the holiday season, and hope it is a merry and bright one!

The Week 44 of 2021 US Stock Market News Recap

The Week 44 of 2021 US Stock Market News Recap

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.
