I hope those who attempted to market time, or fled to the safety of bonds weren’t hurt too bad.

Stocks for the long run – and minimize the “skim” of fees, commissions, trading costs and TAXES.

{{ The S&P 500 finished the year up 24%, just 0.6% from its January 2022 record. The Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 14% to top 37000 for the first time and set seven record closes in the final days of 2023. A mania surrounding artificial intelligence and big technology stocks sent the Nasdaq Composite soaring 43%, its best year since 2020.

It is a far cry from the doom and gloom many were bracing for at the start of 2023.

A year ago, everyone from the strategists at Wall Street banks to rap artist Cardi B was calling for a recession. Instead, inflation continued falling, consumers kept spending and the unemployment rate fell to 3.4%, the lowest level since 1969. }}

I don’t look at charts much but I am waiting to see if this latest run will break through the highs of two years ago or not.

It already has reached new highs if dividends are included (and why wouldn’t they be?).
