Last Week…

 

… Things evened out a bit

 

 

US stocks are still in rotation

  • The Dow, S&P, Technology and Healthcare lost some momentum, but losses were under 2%
  • Large Value went down just a little -0.63%
    • Mid and Small Value fell a bit as well: -0.76% and 0.27%
  • Mid and Small Cap Growth stood alone with gains of +1.27% & +1.96%

 

  • REITS and Foreign REITS both lost traction -2.42% and -0.84%, respectively

 

Foreign stocks were all over

  • Emerging Markets took the lead +0.62%

 

Bonds are back to barely bubbling –However, that has translated into momentum for the year. Bonds are running at a very nice clip of 3-10% YTD, nothing to sneeze at!

  • All are up with the majority over 5% YTD
  • TIPS have over 10% return YTD
  • Short Term Treasuries are the lowest at 3% YTD

 

Have a great weekend!
