Post 75; January 2020

Some perspective to consider for the Month of January:

The S&P 500 (Large Cap) 

Closed down (0.2%) for the month.  

The Russell 2000 (Small and Mid Cap) 

Closed down (3.2%) for the month. 

The IJS ETF (Small Cap Value)

Closed down (6.3%) for the month.

Dow Jones Industrials (Traditional) 

Closed down (1.0%) for the month. 

Nasdaq (Technology)

Only index UP 2.0%. 

Combined average of all 5 indexes:

Down (2.9%) for the five of them for this month.

Our Growth portfolio of fast growing companies ended the month UP +22.2%.

I would not have dreamed or anticipated gains of 22.2% in the first month of 2020.   Indeed, I would be happy with 22.2% annual returns.  With earnings starting in a few short weeks, February should be very exciting.

Cheers and Happy New Year!
