Week Ending 12/21/12 S&P 500, Asset Class & Sector Performance


Despite the doom and gloom tone in the media the equity markets actually had a pretty good week across the board. Perhaps most surprising was the downward movement in hard asset precious metals, despite currency moves that should have suggested a good week for the metals. Not surprising is the fact that the precious metal mining company stocks continue to have trouble finding their footing.

 

I want to wish everyone a very happy holiday! Thank you for taking the time to get to know me this year and follow my posts.
