Newton's Third Law: DJIA Poised for Epic Rise?

Newton's Third Law of motion is actually:

Whenever a first body exerts a force F on a second body, the second body exerts a force −F on the first body. F and −F are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction

The Bulls and the Bears are essentialyl the manifestations of Newton's Third Law in the market. Since the opposite force -F is felt only while the implied force F is well forcing the object.

If you want to talk physics you should be looking at Hooke's Law of Elasticity. Which describes the behaviour of the extension of a spring from equilibrium and the restoring force which tends to offshoot hte equilibrium position into another direction. This would indeed indicate we may ride up for a while after last weeks bounce but the restoring force is going to just drag it back down again until equilibrium is achieved.

Of course springs are much too simplistic anyway to realistically relate to the market but its a better rough representation or application the Newton's Third Law.
