2016 Market In Review

FYI: (Click On Article Title At Top Of Google Search)

After a topsy-turvy 2016—at one point in February, the S&P 500 index fell 15%—investors should be relieved, and even happy, about the index’s nearly 10% rise on the year. A year ago, analysts expected S&P 500 earnings growth of 10%, to $128 a share in 2016. Instead, earnings are likely to come in flat, at $118. The market’s forward price/earnings ratio has expanded, however, from 16 times to 17 times. The dollar rose 4% in 2016.
