Repetition Of Market History.

The chapter Of stock market history
which most frequently repeats itself Is
the chart of recoveries from big breaks
in the market. Almost without exception
after the bottom has been reached there
has followed q sharp rebound Of 80 to
80 per cent. OF the loss on the break.
and his has been followed In turn by a
less active market and a secondary but
less violent decline. The reasons for
these movement are logical enough. On
the big breaks supporting orders come
from the banks. and buying by bargain
and covering Of short contracts
produce a vigorous rally. But on those
rallies stocks bought for support are
often placed, n he technical position
Is weakened by the professional cover
ing. The reaction from panic rally thus
naturally follows the panic rally itself.
