Chicken Little's Criteria for becoming Bullish
In his 1963 essay, Sir Karl Popper writes, "the scientific status of a theory is its falsifiability, or refutability, or testability."

Chicken Little's ramblings are not a scientific theory. However, in a Popperian spirit, I examine five criteria, which would make Chicken Little bullish.

Chicken Little is Sick from Volatility; remaining Vigilant
Today the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 17,908. This is just fractionally lower than where it closed a year ago.
