Naturally, there is not, nor can there be, a guarantee of accuracy on any single month's results.

|
An active market, but no obvious trend. Ends up slightly. |
Positive moves all month, slightly more optimism. Ends up almost level with Blue Chips holding their own. |
Strong moves, mergers, consolidation, profit-taking and big institutional buyers making important decisions. Uneven all month. |
|
Very positive trends, some very good upward moves. All utilities, rails moving briskly. |
Foreign markets will finally begin to stabilize, with currency problems abating. Strongly positive feelings, market ends up- trend after 16th. MiddleEast problems let up somewhat...for now.... |
Continuous motion, big ups and downs, graph looks like sharks' teeth. Hang on and ride it out. Market slightly down but uptick at month's end (not for techs just yet). |
|
Some rough moves here, especially tech stocks, Blue chips wary and cautious. More merger news moves things down. Nasdaq sinking but rate slows down. |
Cautious conservativism takes over, wound-licking begins, an upward trend develops toward the 20th Tiptoe and keep both eyes open wide here. |
Hops, skips and jumps here - staying in could be hazardous to your peace of mind. Ups and downs all month, no big trend develops until late and that is shaky. |
|
Oil prices and outlooks stabilize. New ventures and IPO strength. Microsoft hears something it likes. Dow begins a slow uptrend. |
Fast-moving ups and downs make the graph look seasick, much profit-taking, cautious investors being wary, industrials up along with utilities and transportation Techs not so plump. |
Prospects and outlook negative, bears having a banquet, but news on 19th surprises many into buying Christmas feasts. |
In general, 2001 will be another rough year for Investors but the bold will win the game. Sheep will have a bad taste in the mouth. Dow could gain 8 - 11% during the year - a true tug-o-war on the way, though. Techs better but still running a fever Biotechs emerge strongly - new IPOs moving fast, pharmaceuticals having a great year. New imaging and diagnostic techniques will steal the show. All health care stocks bear watching. New issues, IPOs strong except for fast-food. Gaming and Entertainment stocks hold their own, some comeback Computer stocks draggy, Intel, Cisco, etc. stabilize toward end. Heinz sheds green catsup. New decision on Microsoft pushes new optimism.
Weather problems recur, harvests good, meats down then level, sugar up, gold even, grains a problem. Food stocks doing well, more mergers here. Total styling change in autos begin - a retro-look to 50's styling is seen as only way to save the game. Muscle cars swarm again. Hard good sales slow - prices drop - good time to buy these. Big retailers complaining all year. Food stores with delivery service will take a big leap forward and the idea will spread sunshine everywhere. Hint to entrepreneurs with a van or stationwagon - there's profit to be made here... Hemlines slightly higher, softer look to fashions, those ghastly colors hit the ragbag replaced with strong pastels
Out: body piercing, tattoos, whuzzaaaat, pregnant chads, camouflage clothing, violent cartoons.
