    Oops , omitted to add :

    An “expanded flat ” is the corrective pattern “call” in the Dow Jones Industrial Average , and a “zig-zag” corrective pattern is the “call” for the Dow Jones Transportation Average !

    Stay Tuned !

    In my humble opinion …………….

    Very interesting perspective from JPM & Goldman Sachs , however, I disagree .

    The rise in the Dow Jones Industrial Average since late 2018 which surpassed the peak in 2018 triggered my alternative count .

    My alternative count suggests that this new high in the Dow Jones Industrial Average appears to be a suckers rally wave B , and therefore a proregressive correction . I await a dramatic wave C , and for it to occur while most are off guard at which point an economic recession shall be declared in the USA & Canada within 2020 .

    No doom & gloom . Simply a continuation to what has begun in early 2018 . When the next shoe drops , it should be quite interesting to say the least . Therefore I am calling for a full blown economic recession in 2020 that will last into early 2021 .

    We should be in the last leg and very near the peak in the Dow Jones Industrial Average . The Dow Jones Transportation Average has not printed a new high and therefore is not confirming the Dow Jones Industrial Average .

    Be vigilant and “Happy New Year” ! Ok , perhaps not such a happy one this year if my call does indeed pan out , LOL !

    Best of luck !

    In my humble opinion ………..

    1. Noble1 suggests SMART truck drivers should UNITE & collectively cut out the middlemen picking driver pockets

      Apparently last leg call was right on .

      January Barometer smiles upon me

      In my humble opinion ……..
