FOR YOUR AMUSEMENT

SYNOPSIS
Last week was practically a mirror image of the week before in terms of one-week changes. The prior week had been one of the worst in years for equities, but last week had major indexes flirting with new highs again.

ProfiTrend Portfolio… The annualized growth rate for the ProfiTrend Portfolio is now at +199%… well above the comparable numbers for the S&P/TSX Composite Index (-3%) and the S&P 500 (+32%).

Seasonality… We don’t have anything to add this week, and will wait until next weekend to expand on the outlook for January and beyond. We’ll just remind you that the final two weeks of December and the first week of January are generally favourable times to be invested in equities.

Apparently, they know something that we don’t. The European index is at an all-time high, since the publication of the SSICI indexes began. We’ve updated our chart and you’ll find more detail below.

And, what about the rest of the globe? More on all of that below.
