...issue is doubly compelling as the U.S. market chugs ever higher. The average blue-chip stock has risen a stunning 29% annually in the past two years, nearly triple the historical 10.5% benchmark, making the U.S. the best-performing major market on the globe in that period. The Dow Jones industrial average blew past the 6300 marker last week, more than double its level less than five years ago. America is on a roll, and with Wall Street euphoric over the election results, it seems nothing can go wrong. U.S.A. all the way! Besides, giant U.S. companies such as Coca...
...what's been going on in the stock market since Labor Day. Sure, corporate profits have been humming, and low interest rates have provided punch. But if investors weren't content with the nation's political backdrop it's unlikely stocks would have risen as they have. The Dow Jones industrial average, after sweating through a deadly dull summer, has danced 7% higher in two months and bubbled past...
...question is, Do the pollsters on Wall Street have it right? If so, investors needn't think much about their portfolios. The postelection political setting will be like the current one, which has worked miracles. The Dow is up 64% since the midterm election in 1994; the average diversified-stock mutual fund, up 47%.

That's worth noting as the Dow Jones industrial average flirts with a record 6000. What the market serves up one day it can steal back the next, and we are long overdue for an encounter with this sometime crook's larcenous side. Some thought a meeting was in store last summer. But after a brief lull, this unprecedented bull market was off and charging again. It's now been six years since the broader market gauge...
...YORK CITY: The bubble that was supposed to burst three months ago keeps on rising. Monday, for the first time ever, the Dow Jones industrial average closed above 6,000. Despite increasing prognistications from financial advisors that stocks are overvalued and headed for a fall, the Dow continues to grow, closing Monday up 40.62 at 6,010.00. The new record came less than a year after the Dow passed the 5,000 mark. Predictions this spring were that the current bull market, at the time more than 5 1/2 years old, was due for a fall. Those fears seemed close...
