Bear market territory. Says who? Italian bloodbath next week?

(Posted Sat 415 am, weekend read)

Bear market territory, says who? That is history since October 4th!

In fact, the US benchmark indices: Dow and S&P are in bull market territory. The measurement for correction and bear market are 10% and 20% respectively. Hence, the Dow and S&P which reached 12,000 and 1,290 last month had more than 20% gains since the first week of October.

Similarly, in HK, the low was around 16,000. The high recorded recently was 19,200. Similarly, South Korea, Indonesia, etc have risen 18-21% from the low in October.

At time of posting, Singapore time Sat, 130 am, "the Italian FM warns the PM, If You Don't Resign, There's Going To Be A Bloodbath In The Markets On Monday" (We really don't need this. The Director of ths EU saga needs to be shot!) This will make a count of TWO (resignations) in total if the Greek vote of confidence is YES!

US benchmark indices closes an average of 0.5% on Friday. For the week, the US indices closes down ranging from 2-2.5% for the week snapping a 5 week winning streak.


The Greek vote of confidence is still running at 415 am.


Updated Saturday. Greek wins vote of confidence.
