Hmmm.. gold higher, dollar higher, bonds unsure, rate hike coming "just to see if they can"
edit: finished the "article"... is about way more than stocks. Really interesting for the whole PP on a macro level

Although the above chart showing that the total returns of the S&P500 never gaining more than six years in a row seems to not check out. Gundlach's data shows a negative return in 1994 for the S&P500, while my (and others) data shows a small gain. This pushes the number of years to 9 years between 1991 and 1999. And then if we ignore the minor down years then we can push the streak to 25 years between 1975-1999 (that was one hell of a run!).

Yes, the index has never finished higher in seven consecutive years, which is something it's trying to do this year. But, "there's a first time for everything" says Scott Wren, senior global equity strategist at Wells Fargo Investment Institute.

I was initially dubious regarding the veracity of that quote. When I saw the impeccable credentials behind those words, however, I was quite convinced.MilfordTony wrote: Yes, the index has never finished higher in seven consecutive years, which is something it's trying to do this year.
