The Weekly Wrap: Saturday, December 31, 2005

31 December 2005

Happy New Year! The year 2005 comes to an end at 12:00 AM tonight (relative to where you are) and puts an end to this sad Market performance. I welcome the new year and the chance for making some large gains. Although I did well this past year (+40%) I can remember each wrong decision and am thankful for all the right decisions. Well, as you can see, the Russell 2000 was the hot performer with a staggering +3.3% yearly gain. One needed to be a market timer to have done well this year investing in any of these indices. May you all have a very good year in 2006.
