My Get Up and Go Musta Got Up and Went


Not sure if you noticed, but that group of widely-held issues collectively making up the Dow Jones Industrials Avererge — a major U.S. index whose place in modern society I became aware of sometime shortly after becoming school-aged — has risen just about 61.8% off March '09 bottom.

(Judging by volume performance off March '09 bottom — particularly since early-July — the mantra characterizing the Dow's advance might better be, "Hey buddy, can you spare a dime's worth of fear?")

Therefore, with the index of widely-held issues approaching a 61.8% gain, you invariably arrive at this picture of a broken bull, well past its prime, singing, "You can't catch me cuz the rabbit done died."

Yes it did.
