Final note

It was indeed a very mixed month for world equity markets. Whilst the US market broke a new historic high, on the other side of the planet, things weren't going so well in communist China or their 'Special Administrative Region' of Hong Kong. 

Neither are things going so well in neighbouring Japan, holding the Olympics, with Tokyo officially in a 'state of emergency'. Incredible. 

With the Dow, SPX, Nasdaq comp', and NYSE comp' breaking new historic highs in July, the crash calling lunatics would do well to remain in their basements until at least Labor day.
