FYI: No matter how many times you looked at the performance data over the holidays, the results did not flip from red to green—that was your trees lights blinking and changing colors. No one likes to lose money but that is what the great majority did; luckily, most managed single digit percent declines. But those who missed the big move in October, or who were concentrated in Energy or Emerging Markets, likely saw double digit percent losses. So where do we go from here? Right now, 2016 doesn’t look like it will be any easier for investors.
