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: The U.S. equity market ended 2015 on a rather flat note amid plunging oil prices, a strengthening U.S. dollar, and the devaluation of the Chinese renminbi, all of which contributed to market volatility. As of Dec, 31, 2015, the S&P Composite 1500® returned 1.01% while the S&P 500® posted 1.38% on a total return basis. Regards, Ted http://www.spindices.com/documents/spiva/spiva-us-yearend-2015.pdf
