Monthly Market Monologue - December 2022

Investing Insights

In this edition of our Monthly Market Monologue, we review the year-to-date returns for both stocks and bonds as well as the traditional 60/40 portfolio. And given the market’s improvement over the last ~45 days, we check back on our proprietary indicator, the Vertical Speed Indicator, to see if it has flipped back to a Buy Signal.


We’ve also been talking a lot about how challenging mid-term election years tend to be. Today we review the historical precedent for the year after a mid-term election year … and that data is encouraging. 


Finally, we review the recent rally. Specifically, we look at the participation in the current rally. Does the participation give us confidence that this rally can continue?
