How Long Can The Bull Keep Running?
By Larry C. Paxton
The PBR1000 August 2014 Snapshot and the new Quarterly Report reflects the latest annual 10-K reports filed with the SEC from 2013 through June 2014, stock data through August 29, the last trading day of the month. For this monthly report 4 companies were deleted(acquired and de-listed), and 12 companies were added, for a total of 1,087.
The next quarterly rankings update should be with the November Snapshots. The quarterly The PBR1000 By Industry is available, a new The PBR1000 By State will come out during September.
A sample of The PBR1000 May 2014 Snapshot is available for download at the top of the “Sample Snapshots” page.
The tables below are compiled from The PBR1000 August 2014 Snapshot, with 14 reports. Current The PBR1000 Subscribers should have already received these.
The stock exchanges reached record highs again during the month, and closed August strong, extending the long bull market run. But the bear proponents say a correction is due. Ukraine and the Mideast conflicts continue to create daily swings in the markets, Europe is still experiencing a very slow recovery, the Federal Reserve will soon be eliminating the Quantitative Easing program, and upcoming mid-term elections usually create a dip. The US economy, still regarded as fragile, nevertheless continues to stabilize and have an upward trend.
In the following tables the stock price is for the close of trading on August 29th, Month % Chg is compared to July 31, YTD % Chg is compared to December 31, 2013, and the 20 Mos % Chg is compared to December 31, 2012.
