January 10, 2012 Prices Continue Higher

            January 10, 2012                 Prices Continue Higher

 The NASDAQ posted its third straight gain, advancing .97 percent. The DJIA and the S&P500, moved higher for their second day, posting  .56 and .89 percent increases. Today’s pattern is the 11th repeat since 2000, and 47th overall.

The diagram identifies those previous days; it reveals an even distribution over good and bad times with the exception of the current, since the 2009 bottom, phase. These happened twice as often, -.55 percent of these days, as in the previous three segments.

Further, with the red dots representing declines on the following day, expectations for tomorrow are modest, given the 7 decreases and just 3 gains over the last four cycles since 2000.
