Two Great Bounces! - November 20 2009

post from Paper Economy - A US Real Estate Bubble Blog on 20 November 2009 10:32:00 PM. © Paper Economy - A US Real Estate Bubble Blog

The following charts provide a simple comparison between the big stock bounce that occurred in the wake of the DOW crash of 1929 and the bounce we are seeing today in the S&P 500 index.

The method of alignment was simple? take the first definitive up trading day off the bottom of the preceding bear market low and set that as the start of the series? then simply re-base both series to a value of 100 so that they can be compared side-by-side.

The lower bar chart plots the cumulative percentage change since the start of each bounce.

The S&P 500 is up over 51% in a little over 160 trading days? an historically aggressive run with an obvious note of mania to it? and wholly comparable to? even far stronger than? the price movement seen in the 1930s-era DOW rally.

At this point for the 30s-era DOW, the bull-run was over as the bear trend resumed in earnest? today though the Bull is seriously on the move? how long will this boom last?

Only time will tell? But for now, let?s continue to keep a watchful eye?

Issue Number: RP-2009-52

Inside This Issue

Revenue Procedure 2009-52 provides guidance under § 13 of the Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009, which allows taxpayers to elect a 3, 4, or 5-year net operating loss (NOL) carryback instead of a normally 2-year carryback. The election applies to an applicable NOL, which is an NOL for a taxable year ending after December 31, 2007, and beginning before January 1, 2010. The revenue procedure tells taxpayers the time and manner for making the election if the taxpayer (1) has not claimed a deduction for an applicable NOL; (2) previously claimed a deduction for an applicable NOL; or (3) previously filed an election to forgo the NOL carryback.

Revenue Procedure 2009-52 will be in IRB 2009-49, dated December 7, 2009.
