Friday, June 5, 2020 Broader Market Review The 2,500 point surge in the Dow over the past two weeks has played out as I described on May 25th in my weekly commentary: Two weeks ago I wrote: "Back to present day. Well, that was the bottom and it certainly was low risk/high reward and it did provide historic compelling levels that have produced massive returns upwards of 100% in less than 60 days.
