June 30, 2010 — Another Loss

Declines continued as the second quarter came to an end. It was the fifth successive negative session for the DJIA; the NASDAQ and the S&P500 ran their string of daily losses to three.  While prices rose somewhat when the market opened, at the end of the day the NASDAQ dropped  -1.21 percent, the S&P500  -1.01 percent and the DJIA  -.98 percent.

Today’s pattern, of five negative days for the DJIA while the NASDAQ and the S&P500 fell, is only the third such occurrence in our data base that begins in 1950. It last appeared at the beginning of  2005.
