5 Ugly Markets Around The Globe - Global economy cartoon 12.16.2014

Sure, there's always a bull market somewhere... but you won't find one in the five markets below. Each one looks especially ugly when you peel back the onion. 

1. JAPAN

2. Australia

3. Germany

4. Russell 2000

5. CRB Index (commodities)

You'll note that each one of these markets have been consistently making lower highs. The lesson here? Fairly simple. Don't blindly fish for bottoms in falling markets.
