FYI: Despite a hiccup on the last day of the year, indexes finished off a fantastic year in fine fashion with the S&P 500 surging 19.6% and the NASDAQ 28.4%!! Keep in mind that is off a strong rally in November/December 2016 post election day. Volume was extremely light as is usual for the week between Christmas and New Years Eve. More crazy records being broke – it was the DJIA 9th positive month in a row – the first time that has happened since 1959. The NASDAQ rose for the 6th straight year – which last happened in 1975 to 1980.
Happy New Year,
Ted
