Dow Spike


The Dow closing on 2/28/20 was 25,409.36, down from 25,983.94 on 12/31/19, showing a loss of 574.58. This is the real loss we had on the Dow.

The Dow spike to a record high of 29,551.42 on 2/12/20, signaling the promise of a Dow 30,000, but it didn’t happen.

The Dow loss from the 2/12/20 high of 29,551.42 to the 2/28/20 low of 25,409.36 was 4,142.06.  This is the erasure of the Dow spike.

The continued buying of Dow stock in January and February of 2020 may have been from new foreign investors and new US investors, but the hype over the Coronavirus focused investors on the costs of moving Chinese subsidized manufacturing from China. This may require another lowering of the US corporate tax closer to 15%.
