Summary

*I'll start the last day of the year.. with a giant monthly chart.. to highlight the year.
--

It has been another crazy year. Bears have been teased a few times... but without question.. a SIXTH year for the bull maniacs.

The sp'500 has only seen 3 net monthly declines this year... and only the January decline even rated as 'borderline significant'.
