Date #1 was buying US stocks, Date #2 was shorting non-US stocks, Date #3 is shorting gold.

DOW 20,000 and Mean Markets

In 2013, I incorrectly predicted that the Dow Jones Industrial Average would hit 5,000 before it hit 20,000.

Financial markets can be frustrating and mean. In this case, perhaps the market has a sense of humor. By some strange coincidence, I was at the NYSE on January 25th at the exact moment that I was proven wrong.
