Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: Many U.S. markets were a winning bet in 2014. The Dow industrials and S&P 500 chalked up one record after another, Treasurys prices rose, and the U.S. dollar soared to multiyear highs against the euro and yen. Oil prices, however, plunged, hit by a double whammy of excess supplies and slowing growth in Europe and Asia. Regards, Ted http://graphics.wsj.com/markets-and-finance-year-in-charts/
