May 10th was the "Last Quarter" Moon.
A chart I posted here showed that a market low typically followed it.
The big red candle was May 10th. The "Last Quarter" moon!

PS: Two weeks ago was a full moon.
I went fishing and caught a bunch in less than 1 1/2 hours.
I went again to the same place a week later and only caught one small bluegill.
I went again this evening (New Moon) and caught about a dozen in an hour.
Including this very nice Largemouth Bass.

Is that about a 4 lb fish? Looks like fun. We're going to hit the tailwaters this afternoon, I think. Thanks for the heads up. Mark

May 4th saw most of the rally over on the Bradley date before the plunge on the 10th, so is June 14 the next low?

Is that about a 4 lb fish?

Mark, I have found that the secret to catching really big fish is it's distance from the camera.
I guess it was closer to two pounds. But I didn't weigh it.
Funny thing was, I was fishing off of an old bridge which was built in the early 1900's.
When a new bridge was built, this one was dismantled and moved to this little lake in a park.

So anyway, the lure was directly below me in about 3 feet of clear water.
I saw the bass slowly swim up, checking it out and when he went up to mouth it, I set the hook.
You don't usually get to see the fish actually strike. It was cool. And fun.


The water is muddy in this picture taken last week after torrential rains here.
Usually it is very clear as it is runoff water from an area of limestone.
