ETF Returns On Major Market Indices


Above is a chart derived from the performance chart application over at Stockcharts.com.   It shows how some of the major market indices we follow or invest in have performed so far in 2018.    You can double-click on the chart to make it larger.   So far this year the technology heavy Nasdaq 100 index has been the world's fair with over a 7% return so far.  Everything else is sort of meddling along.  All in all not so bad given all the political and international hijinks we've seen this winter.   Returns so far this year fit well into my thesis that we are spending time consolidating the previous year's gains.

Speaking of winter, it snowed here last night.  April 18-19 and it feels more like the end of February!  Also as a reminder we will be limiting our posting starting next week to once a week until after our move.  I need to spend time getting my office ready to ship out!  Back either Tuesday or Wednesday next week.
