Around the Markets – 3/6/13

Here is our daily peak at some news/observations that caught our attention today:

1. Rich Bernstein compares the current bull run to the 1982-1987 bull market. Check out the chart posted by Dave Wilson from Bloomberg.

2. There is a chart posted on Stocktwits by James Bartelloni that compares stocks that have had parabolic moves in the past. Displayed are AAPL (before the fall), Green Mountain Coffee, Centex Homes and Nasdaq. A clear warning of the danger of these kinds of moves. Of course, optimism was probably greatest at the peaks.

3. Of interest, I am keeping an eye on some of the precious metals and miners (GLD, AUY, PAAS) for a hint of a possible bottom.
