Discussion Groups / English Usage / May 2009"Bull Market"?
The DJIA has been rising fairly steadily for a couple of months now. How long does it have to do that before we can way we have a bull market?

It was a typo. I'm wondering if his surname also includes a typo. No kidding. I have a cousin (named Steve, coincidentally) who once spelled his first name "stevei", and either never noticed it, or just decided to leave it that way. It's on his email address, though, and I see it every other day or so. Oh. The old bull market died. My farmer friends say it takes about two years for a new one to really have the nuts. >> The DJIA has been rising fairly steadily for a couple of months now. >> How long does it have to do that before we can way we have a bull >> market? >> -- > >If by way you mean say, you can say that anytime you like. People in AUE usually don't make an issue of obvious typos. >>> The DJIA has been rising fairly steadily for a couple of months now. >>> How long does it have to do that before we can way we have a bull [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >> >People in AUE usually don't make an issue of obvious typos. Oh, you'd be surprised.

Right, the context indicates clearly what you meant. But only this time I'm very curious if your last name is "Sorenson" or "Sorensen", and if it's the latter, are you related to the great Ted? >> ?On Sat, 9 May 2009 11:40:38 +1200, "Fred" <dre...@paradise.net.nz> >> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >But only this time I'm very curious if your last name is "Sorenson" or >"Sorensen", and if it's the latter, are you related to the great Ted? It's 'Sorensen' when I'm sober, but so far as I know, I'm not even distantly related to Ted the Great. 'Distantly' is of course a relative term. Everyone is related to everyone else at some distance. >>> The DJIA has been rising fairly steadily for a couple of months now. >>> How long does it have to do that before we can way we have a bull [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >> > People in AUE usually don't make an issue of obvious typos. I didn't 'make an issue' out of anything. I was merely pointing out that you can call the maket a bull market if that is what you consider from its recent performance, while trying to ensure I was answering the right question. > The DJIA has been rising fairly steadily for a couple of months now. > How long does it have to do that before we can way we have a bull [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > California | two evils, I pick the one I haven't > | tried before. (Mae West) No time limit. If the market is going up, it's a bull market. If it's going down, it's a bear market. Over a week, it may be one or the other. Over a month, ditto. Over a year... > The DJIA has been rising fairly steadily for a couple of months now. > How long does it have to do that before we can way we have a bull [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > California � � �| two evils, I pick the one I haven't > � � � � � � � � | tried before. �(Mae West) If you want precision, like "you need to wait just another 139 day,until Augut 15, 2009 at 4:17 PM" you'd better consult an oracle. Otherwise, let your nature be your guide: if you're an optimist, call it a "Bull Market" right now, no need to wait for the aue's green light. As long as stock prices are growing, it's a bull market. As long as commodity prices are growing, it's a bear market. When both grow, you are having inflation. _______ http://ecn.ab.ca/~brewhaha/Saffron_Karaoke_Duet.wmv Fifth version was posted in November, and I think the Alto part sounds more like a baseline, while the baseline sounds more like a Tenor, and the Tenor is my melody, so it should be the Alto part, if I follow tradition. Still, I think it works, so I posted it. > As long as stock prices are growing, it's a bull market. > As long as commodity prices are growing, it's a bear market. > When both grow, you are having inflation. Nicely put. Wrong ... but nicely put. Very succinct and fully grammatical. I'm not going to bother posting what's correct. Either you're joking or -- God forbid you're not -- you can find the correct definitions all over the Web. SignatureBob Lieblich Tending toward bull (in his posting, anyway) |
